CAUTION! ENGINEERS AT WORK!

Here at Scotch Plains this week we are so excited about engineering! Our up and coming engineers have been working on creating different types of plastic all week. Through trial and error, our campers have been discovering which recipes create the most durable plastic. Through a "weight" test, campers were eager to find out they broke the record for creating the most durable plastic of summer! The campers are now working on their next challenge.... creating plastic bowls! With a little teamwork we believe they will be successful once again. You know what they say, teamwork makes the dream work!


Teamwork in action!



Excited Engineers!

Cast of Characters at Somerset - Week 7

Today's Theme Thursday at Somerset was Character Day! Students came to camp dressed up as their favorite character. We had a lot of creative characters here, such as Tinker Belle, Superman, and Minnie Mouse. During break, we played Sharks and Minnows as a team and had a blast. Thanks for attending International Ivy Somerset this summer! We sure hope to see you again for Summer 2018!!

One Great Week in Westwood

Our campers had a great week experiencing and learning about new things! 

• Youngsters in Right Brain Mix practiced Star Wars themed Yoga poses, and even learned how to say a few phrases in Russian!
• Campers in Minecraft Creative to make their own amusement parks and replicas of popular world structures. 
• Students in Chemical Engineering experimented with various natural substances to make their own biodegradable plastic

In the afternoon ...

• Youngsters in Left Brain Mix used Lego blocks and computers to program their own robots!
• Our student artists in Comic Creation used Pixton, an internet service, to create their own superheros and comic story lines
• Campers in Minecraft Survival for Beginners learned how to work as a team to survive the ever-spawning nighttime monsters.
• Campers in Civil Engineering built structures to withstand earthquakes - and even tested them!

It has been such a fun and educational summer! Check out all the pictures and videos at iisummer.com/media and visit iisummer.com to register for next summer's classes!
