Summer Camp creating future leaders in science
Mad Science of Palm Beach providing S.T.E.M. Camps to Western Communities
Jupiter, Florida, April 25, 2017– Mad Science of Palm Beach is excited to be providing three weeks of S.T.E.M. Camps to children of the Western Communities at our new camp site – #1 Education Place in the Original Wellington Mall. Each week children will get to problem solve, engineer and discover the world around them through science, technology, engineering and math.
“We are excited to be continuing our hands-on, engaging, programing that students and parents have come to know us for through our after school programs into the summer,” Ellen Maringione, Owner of Mad Science of Palm Beach said. “This is something Palm Beach County’s western community has been asking for and we couldn’t be happier to be in our new location this summer. This is a win-win for everyone.”
Mad Science S.T.E.M. Camps will run from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM the weeks of June 19 to 23; July 10 to 14; and July 17 to 21 for children going into first grade thru sixth grade. Each week is a different topic so children can come all three weeks and experience something new.
Inventors and Explorers (June 19 to 23) each day children will be given a series of challenges which must be overcome by using basic materials, simple machines, tips from world famous inventors and the most important thing of all – their imagination. While Thomas Edison said invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration, this camp is 100% fun!
Rockets and Robots (July 10 to 14) will get children inspired to take on the adventure of space exploration. They will learn about our solar system, stars, space travel and beyond through experiments and games. The fun doesn’t stop there as children build their own solar powered robot (to take home) and learn about the engineering behind tomorrow’s robots from gears to power sources.
FUN-gineering (July 17 to 21) Junior Mad Scientist will get the chance to tap into their engineering skills from creating simple machines to constructing molecules children will get a first-hand look into how the world is built. They will even get the chance to build a geodesic dome they can climb into.
“Our S.T.E.M. camps stand out from our competition because we are a truly provide science, technology, engineering and math curriculum,” Nadia Sorocka Smart, Operations Manager of Mad Science of Palm Beach said. “It is all about learning through fun.”
