###Build a Kinetic, Rube-Goldberg-like machine!

CAMPers learn how to build complex machines, and how to link their different stages together to build complex structures. This program will be mainly LEGO-based, but will also draw from a variety of materials and resources that are non-LEGO. Our builders and engineers will be challenged to employ inquiry and problem-solving skills at every turn, as well as design thinking.

Maker <NAME> has been playing with LEGOs, and building complex LEGO-based machines his whole life. See some of them in action on his website here:

Note: Due to a 4-day CAMP week, XP projects have extended hours and run from 9am-4pm.
