As we go into Weeks 7 and 8 of “Summer STEAM Camp,” we’re not simply ending our program; we’re also sending our campers on a deeper exploration with a focus on advanced educational technology. These last few weeks are meant to be an intense, hands-on experience that pushes participants to use what they’ve learnt on difficult projects and new problems. We think that it’s important to not only help people comprehend, but also help them master something and develop a love for creating. Come with us as we look at the newest technologies and methods that help young people become the innovators of the future.
Weeks 7–8: Using Advanced Technology to Spark New Ideas
Deep Dive into AI and Robotics: Making the Future
In weeks 7 and 8, campers will learn about robots and the interesting world of artificial intelligence at a faster pace. These are important skills for the digital age. This part is all about advanced robotics, which means that campers will have to design, and program more complex machines. Using customised kits, participants will work on difficult engineering issues and learn about sensor integration, and how to use a robotic arm. Campers won’t only put together robots; they’ll come up with ways to fix problems. Participants will understand how machines may “learn” from data and make judgements through interactive lessons and simple programming tasks. This will clear up any confusion about AI and set the stage for future investigation.
Implemented Engineering and Innovative Problem-Solving
These last several weeks focus on putting STEAM principles into practice through big, cross-disciplinary projects. Campers will work on capstone engineering projects that use what they’ve learnt in all of the STEAM fields. The goal of these projects is to be hard, so that people have to use their knowledge in physics, material science, design thinking, and programming. Some examples are making a model city that can last forever with automated systems or developing a working Rube Goldberg machine. This will give them a better understanding of the product development lifecycle.
Showcase and Possible Future Paths
The last two weeks, 7 and 8, end with a celebration presentation that honours accomplishments and encourages further learning in STEAM. The final project showcase and presentation are the best parts of these last few weeks. Campers will proudly show off their finished robotics and engineering creations to their friends, teachers, and special guests. This event helps individuals improve how to explain their design decisions, and recognize their hard work.
Last Insights
As the past two weeks of Summer STEAM Camp draw to a conclusion, we ponder about how much our campers have changed and how creative they have been. We hope to get kids interested in STEAM for life by giving them hard technical problems, advanced robotics, and AI to work on. Our curriculum teaches young people the technical skills they need to impact the future, as well as the confidence, and ability to solve problems they need. We believe that everyone who relates to our camp learns something new and is inspired to become a leader and innovator in technology and other disciplines.
