Imagination and Invention in Paramus!

This week campers are learning how to draft plans and dream big! Whether they are brainstorming their dream house or thinking up the next cool gadget, our campers are enjoying exploring their creativity.

In Pre-Architecture, our campers are working with their teacher to find patterns of building they see in their favorite cities, and also choosing what design styles they prefer. They have also drafted plans of their own house, but how they would like it to look!



Our campers in Shark Tank Entrepreneur have chosen their "big ideas" which they will work out throughout the week. Their goal is to have their products accepted by the special-guest "sharks" on Friday.

Engineering with Makey Makey uses an innovative system that allows our campers to make any objects into computer controllers. The versatility of the product, computer, and our campers imaginations makes the possibilities endless! Some results so far? A coin piano, a play dough drum set, and pencil-drawing video game controllers!

In Detective/Spy Lab our campers enter the world of detectives and spies by uncovering the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis. They will observe, detect, and investigate evidence while also building spy tools such as binoculars for data collecting. They are currently working on their secret spy safes and they will have other campers decode their work!

Interior Design is a class that helps our campers pursue interests in design. This course will show them how to transform plain living spaces into beautiful and functional rooms. They will examine the details of rooms in order to design a space from the floor to the ceiling. They are currently examining room measurements and color combinations that can be used to transform a room into a beautiful living space.
