Full-day preconference workshop introducing Class CrunchLabs, Mark Rober's free NGSS-designed middle school science curriculum. Participants will explore the Carnival of Collisions storyline covering MS-PS2-1 & MS-PS2-2 standards. The session includes hands-on investigations, interactive video assessments, Mission Logs (student portfolios), and reflection activities. Note: Mark Rober will not attend but may share a video message. Limited space available.

Learn teamwork, make friends, unleash creativity, and achieve real learning outcomes while building with LEGOs and other materials. Includes fundamentals of building and competitions.

Week 3 of STEM Academy: Forces in Motion. Students explore forces, motion, energy, and sustainability through project-based learning in physics, computer programming, robotics, and statistics, examining how these concepts intersect in real-world systems through a partnership with Xavier University Faculty. Learning outcomes include explaining how forces, motion, and energy interact in real-world systems, working collaboratively to design and complete STEM projects, applying the scientific method to test ideas and analyze data, and communicating results clearly through presentations and demonstrations. Duration: July 6-10, 2026.

Build, think, learn, and play! This camp will explore simple machines and focus on science we can't see - like forces, motion, and physical interactions. LEGO Builders is a camp for 7, 8, & 9-year old STEM explorers to get hands-on experience by building LEGO creations that demonstrate physical science & engineering concepts. Campers work in groups to solve engineering challenges, tapping into their creativity while collaborating to build their own unique solutions. This is not a robotics camp - campers will tackle challenges and build creations using LEGO bricks & pieces, mostly unplugged. Great for developing creative problem-solving skills while having fun building with LEGOS. Runs Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 3:30pm.

Building camp with LEGOs, blocks, and other materials. Learn fundamentals of building, structural engineering, forces and energy. Includes competitions and hands-on learning. Ages 6-8. Camp take-homes include flash drive, certificate, t-shirt, and lanyard.
