New! Career Exploration STEM Camps FUTURE INVENTORS MANUFACTURING CAMP
CAMP SCRUBS (Middle School)
Join us for this unique career exploration camp into the world of manufacturing! High school students in partnership with Component Bar Products in O’Fallon will design and build a product, experiencing the startto-finish satisfaction of creating something you can show off with pride. In the process, you will learn how to do CAD design and operate various kinds of manufacturing machinery under the close supervision of expert manufacturing trainers. Middle school students will work in teams and learn how to collaborate together to work on robotic challenges using NXT Mindstorm kits and the newest technology–EV3 Lego® Kits. Both groups will tour local manufacturing facilities to learn what types of jobs exist, what skills and training are required and how those businesses are developed. Campers will have the opportunity to hear directly from local manufacturing company owners how they started their businesses, applying basic entrepreneurship principles to understand how a single product idea becomes a business. Whether you aspire to work in manufacturing or medicine, law or any other field, having a basic understanding of how things are made and how businesses develop will make you more appreciative of the world around you and the tools you will use in your life. T-shirts and transporation provided. Space limited!
