This camp is for those curious, multi-faceted Collaboratorians who have a passion for both art and science. We’ll fuse the two together in exciting ways to create a portfolio of take-home, science-based art pieces. We’ll use chemistry in fluid acrylic poured painting, create unique pop-rocket exploding art canvases, utilize water marbling to hydro-dip scarves for (more…)
This camp is a dream camp for inventors, tinkerers, and any kids who love to take things apart and always wonder how things work! We’ll spend part of the time deconstructing any electronics we can get our hands on like computers and hair dryers to see how they work and how the moving parts work (more…)
