Are you ready to “level up” and set a high score? In this camp, participants will design and build classic, hand-powered arcade games such as pinball and skee ball. Together, we will investigate how things roll, fly, slide, collide, and more. During this program, your camper will use their ingenuity to design, build, and test creative contraptions using a variety of recycled materials. They will gain a better understanding of force, trajectory, leverage, and motion, as well as learn how to innovate through the engineering design process.
