Engineering with Minecraft

Camp Description:

This week, students will learn all about various engineering concepts and get a chance to compete in engineering challenges within educational minecraft. Examples include learning about physics/mechanical engineering through the Roller Coaster Challenge, learning about levers, switches, and electrical circuits, and even learning about various types of bridges through our Canyon Arche Bridge Challenge.  But student's will not just be sitting at a screen all day, they will also participate in fun and engaging critical thinking activities, hands on ice-breakers, and diving into various engineering projects. Engineering projects may consist of spaghettis stick/marshmallow bridge building, science experiments, and creating their own Minecraft worlds/characters out of supplies. Each day is a new adventure and students are guaranteed to have a ton of fun, be challenged, get engaged, make friends/memories, and learn!
