Welcome to the Exciting World of Chemistry!
Get ready for a summer of scientific fun! This camp offers interactive activities, demonstrations, and presentations that introduce campers to a wide range of chemistry concepts. While it's an educational exploration, it’s far from traditional summer school—this is all about making science exciting and hands-on!
Chemistry is often called the "central science" because it connects so many other fields. From the tiniest atoms to the vastness of the cosmos, everything—including you—is made of chemicals!
Camp Activities:
This camp is designed to spark curiosity and creativity, while encouraging teamwork and critical thinking. Whether you’re an aspiring scientist or just someone who loves to learn, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the world of chemistry. Get ready to impress your friends (and maybe even your teachers) with everything you’ll discover!
Campers will:
- Synthesize pleasant-smelling molecules from simple materials
- Watch chemistry in action using electricity, light, and heat
- Learn how things can burn—both fast and slow
- Explore the world of acids
- Have fun with polymers
- Discover how chemistry on Earth helps us understand space and stars
- Solve real-world problems using scientific instruments
- Tour working chemistry labs and meet scientific researchers
- Learn how chemistry makes ice cream even better—and taste the results!
Join us at S&T for a summer packed with discovery, exploration, and the joy of scientific inquiry!
