SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS

En Garde: Fencing for Beginners

(Ages 8 and up)

By Thomas Nagy

Have you ever wished that you could take up the sword like D’Artagnon? Well you can! Fencing is a safe, modern sport, which traces its’ history back to the duel. This beginner program for boys and girls will have you parrying your opponent’s attacks and scoring touches on the target. Fencing improves hand-eye coordination, strength, agility, confidence, and teaches social skills and manners.

Build and take home your own Robot. You will also get to build a wide assortment of other Robots. Build a Robot Dinosaur, Galacatisaurus, Mars Cruiser, Aquabot, Space Copter, Desert Rover, “The Five Foot Tall Commander Robot with 5 motors”, Robo Dog and 6ft. long Crocosaurus Alligater (watch it move) as you control it. Build as many as you can in the time that we have. You can also build your own robots with our own motors, wires, controllers, and wheels. Let’s use your imagination. Use our hand held computer to program the robot in the various program modes. It’s a challenge, but easy to do if you are ready to think. Get ready for Sumo Battles – Battle Box – and Sciensational Workshops’ Build-a-Thon.

How about some LAND ROVER excitement! Build and take home your own TRACKER ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE. The vehicle travels the rough terrain overcoming objects in its path. Sciensational Workshops will bring its own course for you to conquer. Sand stones, twigs and balls will be all part of the challenge for your tracked vehicle. Look out for those surprise obstacles. How about a timed race? Watch your tracker and see how long it takes you to go the length of the course. Don’t miss out on learning new ideas on building your own obstacle course. You will also learn about gears as you build your tracked All-Terrain Vehicle. Work in a group with your new friends as you design a Robot you can control. Build a sumo wrestler. Be a part of our battle box events. Loads of fun and education in store the Sciensational way. And don’t leave the workshop without your new TRACKER ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE.
