STEM Multi-Week Adventure

STEM Journey Path

For kids entering grades 2-4

Explore all things STEM in our STEM Multi-Week Adventure! This 4-week adventure is a great opportunity for campers to take a big step towards STEM knowledge. Starting with Minecraft, campers will explore the basics of art, architecture, animation, and the patented Redstone circuitry on Minecraft’s Education or Java Edition platform. Next up is Coding, where campers will begin by learning Scratch, a drag-and-drop system, learning key coding concepts and building a small video game or a cool animation. After day three, campers will begin to apply these same coding concepts in Python. Finally, campers will explore a variety of different technology platforms creating several projects, such as a digitally-animated movie, a 3D print of a unique object, or a video of their architecture design.

Camps included:
Minecraft Exploration
Coding Exploration
Tech & Design Exploration: Creators
Tech & Design Exploration: Builders

I had two boys at your camp. One focused on robotics and the other on music. They both had great fun and learned too!

Learning game design and robotics at Empow really encouraged my creativity, and taught me that creativity and science could be done together. It opened up paths and college and my career that I didn’t know existed. Thanks!

If I could come here all the time, I definitely would!

My child had a phenomenal experience! He RAN intro camp everyday and did not stop talking about it for the entire night upon his return home. We were so pleased to find a program where the instructors were fun, engaging and supportive, and where each child was able to work at his own level and to really be challenged. I can’t believe how much got accomplished in one week!
