"Bee the Bee's knees" and explore the Fab Lab with this bug themed camp. Participants will be complete a variety of projects while learning various machines. If you wait to regiser, you might be "dropping like flies", so get "ants in your pants" and register today!
Sample Projects include:
- laser cut bugs
- 3D printed insects
- Identify bugs by hiking through the trail
- Create bug traps (and safely release them after inspection and identification)
- Other fun bug related activities.
Participants should be at least 7 years old to participate within this camp. Proper attire is also needed. No open toed shoes or loose clothing. No “dangling” jewelry and all hair will need to be tied back. Each day, weather permitting, a hike will also be part of the camp. LMC has a nature trail behind the athletic fields and supervised walks through the trail will be a part of this camp. Not only will participants get the exposure to the lab but also to some fresh air! Sunscreen and mosquito repellent is highly encouraged.
