Mechanical Puppet Camp

Young makers (ages 9-12) will dive into the world of simple machines in this exciting five-day camp! Using levers, pulleys, and springs, they’ll design and build a mechanical puppet with moving eyes and a working mouth. A perfect blend of creativity and hands-on engineering! Students who attend each day of this camp, receive a gift card for the full $20 registration.

In addition to the afternoon STEM camp, students are welcome to come for the morning session: Bible stories, games, and lunch. The morning session starts at 9:00am.

This 5-day camp is presented by Mosaic Family Zone, Kool Kat Science, and Child Evangelism of Ohio.
