Week 3 at Chatham!
Today we got off to an exciting start. We have both new and returning campers and some new classes that are running, like Adventure Quest. We also have some old favorites like Youngster, Minecraft, Biomedical Engineering and Robotics.
This afternoon during break we had another opportunity to get to know each other and use teamwork to win some relay races.
It was a great Monday and we saw many happy campers excited to come back tomorrow.

Chatham Week 6 Wrap-Up
Happy Friday!
Here is a summary of our STEAM oriented classes this week at Chatham.
SCIENCE - Our science classes this week were very unique. In our Youngster class the students explored the living objects outdoors during their nature walks and our cooking classes learned the chemistry of the way that some foods change through the heating or cooling process.
TECHNOLOGY - The classes this week that were solely focused on technology were our Scratch, Java, 3D and 2D Video Game Creation classes. They learned several types of coding languages as well as different ways to write programs. Each student's unique game truly reflected their understanding and passion of the programming.
ENGINEERING - Our Civil Engineering class was able to build different structures in order to test out how much force a building or a bridge can withstand. They were asked to complete challenges, build assigned buildings and come up with their own unique structures.
ARTS - The culinary arts class did a beautiful job of designing different desserts. Learning how to express their artistic talents through cooking was a fun thing to do for the cutie cooks especially. Our Animation Film Making class also did some amazing work on their movie. Their illustrations were very detailed and their filming talents were very impressive! Our creative writing classes also used their minds to create lovely anthologies of their stories that were written all week.
MATHEMATICS - Our Java class learned a new understanding of numbers and number sense when coding their programs this week.
Our Flickr page and our weekly Animoto have some great pictures of our students exploring new interests.

Chatham - End of the Week Wrap-Up
This week at Chatham we had our largest group of campers, but we had so much fun and got so many things done. One of the best parts of the week was our Friday Lemonade Stand from our Entrepreneurship class. All of our campers participated in the buying of lemonade, which gave the class a lot of profit and proved helpful for learning how the marketing of a product leads to higher sales. Please click here to see an animoto slide show of all of the pictures from their sale!
We really emphasized the different parts of STEAM this week - Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. From computer programming to Singapore math and cake design we saw many of our campers enjoy interests that they are not usually able to focus on outside of camp. Here is a link to our flickr album for week 5 which showcases snapshots from all of our classes and break time activities. Stay tuned for week 6 posts starting Monday!
