Green Engineering (girls) 2013

Students entering grades 5-7 in Fall 2013

June 10-14

Morning session: 8:30am-12:00pm
Afternoon session: 1:00pm-4:30pm

The Green Engineering Camp will have campers investigating the impact of energy on our lives and the environment as they use alternative energy sources in order to reduce energy consumption. Campers will have the opportunity to see how changing their ecological footprint will help to create a brighter future for all of us.  Campers will explore solar energy in order to understand one method of using the power of the sun to provide transportation, harnessing the wind in order to create electricity, to discovering ways to clean up an oil spill.
