Saturday Science Clubs
Saturday Science Clubs features hands on science and engineering projects and activities for youth in grades 1 and up on Saturdays. These 3 hour club meetings are split into classes by grade so that all children will be challenged and have fun with campers at the same grade as themselves.

Everyone gathers at the main entrance (lobby) of the Engineering building for check-in at 9:30 am. There will be sign-in tables where the campers will meet. From there the SCI-FI instructors will lead their groups to their classrooms. The instructors will lead everyone back to the main entrance for check-out at 12:00 pm.
The Saturday Science Clubs program will include tours on campus, science activities and engineering projects. We try to change the take-home projects year after year in such a way to minimize the chance of a student building the same project two years in a row.
For Students in grades 1 to 6: Each week features a different theme in science and engineering. The curriculum is also completely different in each term. Topics from the last year included biology, logic, space, health science, chemistry, technology, rocks and fossils, physics, computer science, and environmental science.
Codemakers grade 7+: Students in Codemakers will explore Coding and Robotics using Lego Robotics, Drones. Students will also engage with Cyber Smart Education curriculum developed by Actua designed to teach youth how to explore, create and connect responsibly online, and advance efforts towards a safer online ecosystem.
