Class Highlights – Camp Marauder Jr. (5th-6th)

*class offerings for this program are subject to change

Session 1:

Engineering

In a fun structured environment, students will explore Science through project-based learning. The students will learn principles of science such as displacement, velocity, kinetic energy, force, stored energy, mass, and force along with many other concepts. They will do this through lecture, research and most importantly apply these principles to hands-on builds so that they can see the science at work.

Minecraft 3D Printing

One of the most innovative and educational video games around is Minecraft. It offers real-world possibilities that encourage invention, creation, collaboration, and application. Students will form groups to design and build projects. We will combine their creative group work with a 3D printer to capture and print a model from their samples in Minecraft.

Art

Campers taking Marauder art classes will get to experience the whole campus through a creative lens! We will be using multiple mediums to explore the many hands-on projects this class has to offer. Each day will be a new creative challenge as learn new skills and apply them to a variety of daily activities and crafts.

Math of Sports

Students develop 5-6 grade level math fundamentals as relating to sports. Students look at the greatest players in respective sports by finding out shooting percentages, on-base statistics, and batting and pitching averages. There is hands-on learning in finding out their own shooting percentage as well as throwing pitches to measure their own fastball without a radar gun (averages/speed, distance, and time/time conversions). Additional math of sports is found in looking at the geometric shapes of playing surfaces and materials (finding area and volume).

Class Highlights – Camp Marauder (7th-8th)

Session 1: 

Media Literacy

Electronic media has become a part of our daily lives. Interacting with social media, video games, and media production tools requires knowing and applying some general guidelines.  In this course, students will learn through scenarios, history, and personal stories on how to have fun, stay safe, and be respectful when navigating today’s electronic media.

Scientifically Weird

Science exists all around us, together we will figure out the scientific explanation behind every day phenomena. We will explore and experiment with weird, gross and intriguing occurrences and practice using the Scientific Method to explore the world around us.

Digital Photography

Start taking the best possible photos on your mobile devices by learning how to see the world around you as a photographer does. You will learn how to search out the best lighting and subjects for your photos and create narratives within your frame. This digital course will cover the rules of composition, mobile editing, and how to best showcase your finished product. This course will prove that photography is not always about having the fanciest equipment, but about having the best technique. Tech requirements for photos: mobile device or tablet that can take photos and also download the free Adobe Lightroom app.

Session 2:

Coding, Digital Devices, and Robotics

Have you ever wondered how modern digital devices are designed, built, and programmed?  Understanding digital technology is the first step towards designing and building the newest digital products.  In this course you will be introduced to how software and hardware work together using a pocket-sized computer called a Micro:bit.  You will be introduced to computer programming and learn to write code to control your Micro:bit.  You will explore how the digital and physical worlds interact by connecting sensor inputs including motion, temperature, light, sound, and touch to your Micro:bit.  You will see how your code can come to life by connecting it to outputs like LEDs, speakers, and motors.  Finally you will connect your code to a wheeled robotic vehicle and watch it navigate through a physical environment.

Art

This art class will take campers through 10 days of projects founded in the classical skills of traditional studio art courses with their own unique spin. Each day campers will explore a new medium and embark on a project that allows their own personal creativity to take the lead. Though they’ll be building foundational technical skills, campers will be encouraged to develop their own creative eye through the daily art assignments.

Experimental Probability and Statistics

Students will work individually and collaboratively to learn about various concepts that deal with probabilities and statistics. Students will learn about histograms, scatter plots, bar graphs, pie charts, etc. Ever wonder the chances of winning that carnival game at the State Fair? Students will work in groups to create games of probability, create a Scientific experiment and present their data to the class.
