Learning Outcomes »
In Mythbusters your child should, foremost, have a better understanding of how fun science can be! The student will also be able to discuss/identify the importance of scientific inquiry as it leads to scientific discoveries. During the week long camp the student will be able to demonstrate creative and deductive thinking in applying scientific concepts to everyday phenomena.
The family showcase will be held on Friday at 2:00 pm - more details regarding the family showcase event will be sent home the week of the camp. Each day of the camp, we will "tackle" a theme and at the end of the week at this event, your child will display projects, discuss what they learned, and act as your tour guide for their learning of the week.
