Campers mix art and science as they put a spin on the world of kinetic possibility. They discover the engineering design process as they construct simple machines to solve daily challenges in the spirit of Rube Goldberg’s wacky machines. They hand-manipulate wire to produce a zany 3D spinning toy, create a colorful interactive pinwheel, and participate in pendulum-powered painting. Visits to the Air and Space, American History, and American Art museums inspire campers’ designs throughout the week.
