Solar, Hydro & Wind Powered Engineering Camp

Combine engineering and alternative energy (solar, hydro & wind)! Build cars, cranes, drawbridges, etc. from LEGO� kits and operate them using alternative energy sources. Students working in teams will start with electricity and use a multimeter to measure continuity, resistance, and voltage. Adding concrete experiments with wind, water, and solar panels produces a high-powered and high-energy course! Building projects include: waterwheel, windmill, Ferris wheel, and solar car. Students achieve an understanding of how energy is developed from the Sun, wind, and water. Solar energy can be captured by the LEGO� Solar Cell and used to power their models. On the last day students will use the concepts they learned to design and create a test car to complete against their classmates.

About Us:

We offer research-proven technology and science summer day camps for kids and teens ages 3-14. We believe learning should be fun, innovative, challenging and hands-on. Computer Explorers has over 200 camps throughout Minnesota each summer. We offer 30 different classes/camp in Video Game Design, Programming, Legos, Robotics, Engineering, and Film Making. We have been offering computer technology camps and classes in the Twin Cities for over 20 years, and 30 years nationally.
