CRYSTALS GLITZ LAB
Learn why crystals are magical reflectors of light and the science behind them. In this camp,
where science meets fun, we’ll have a blast while we grow crystals, create enchanting crystal
accessories like pendants and rings, and explore the science behind crystals and light. Add
a pinch of imagination as you create your own super cool packages to take home your very
personal creations.

ENGINEERING: CRAZY ACTION CONTRAPTIONS
Unleash your imagination as you journey through the wide-ranging world of LEGO® building.
Students working in pairs will build models and discuss the engineering science behind
each. This fun, hands-on class shows students how engineering can be fun and silly, yet still
educational. Students will then be challenged to improve the model and customize their
creations. Possible models include the Never-Look-Back Machine, Skittletops, Do-Nothing
Machine, Coat Hanger Daredevil, Trapdoor Cable Car Parachute Machine, Rubberband Racer,
Balloon-Powered Car, and other Crazy Action Contraptions.

The Ministry of Magic is inviting all aspiring wizards to this extraordinary camp. Each day,
students participate in engineering challenges to earn points for their houses like creating
the farthest reaching Golden Snitch Launcher and the fastest Gringott Cart to reach the vaults.
At the end of camp, the house with the most points is awarded the house cup, a great honour!

ENGINEER’S GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE
Have you ever wondered what you would do to save yourself from the zombie apocalypse?
Students will find themselves the lone survivors of a zombie apocalypse and learn that the
undead are coming to find them. The challenge is to stay alive until scientists find a cure.
Be careful! One bite and you will become one of them. We will work in teams and use the
Engineering Design Process to create projects to help you make the best choices for your
survival.

DESTINATION MARS:
ROCKETRY
Launch and watch your very own
rocket speed 300 feet into the air!
We will make and take home multiple
rockets of varying difficulty. We
will use these rockets and airplanes
to investigate basic aeronautical
concepts including propulsion, thrust,
lift, drag and more. Note: Parents
will be asked to contribute two, - liter
soda bottles (empty) for 2 different
experiments.

EXTREME ROBOTICS: EV3 BATTLEBOTS
Combining the versatility of the LEGO® building system and the Mindstorms EV3 (the most
sophisticated microcomputer brick ever made by LEGO), this camp will energize and excite
students. Working each day in teams, students will construct fun LEGO models, experiment
with programs, and compete in robotic challenges. Robot building, block programming, and
teamwork will be part of each day’s activities. Final challenges will be centered around hitting
targets and a sumo battle.
