Play-BASED GAME DESIGN ANIMATION & CODING - UES This camp is all about
hands-on creativity! We’ll build sustainable robots, music, and
games with our pocket-sized, programmable Micro:bit micro-computers.
We’ll create Mondrian-inspired playdough art, spinning ANIMATION
PHENAKISTOSCOPES THAT DEMONSTRATE THE PERSISTENCE OF VISION, and
re-create those epic artworks in Minecraft. We’ll construct
old-school, 8-bit LED games on the Micro:bit like Pong, Snake and
Space Invaders and we’ll create Minecraft-style potion sensory
water. If you love games and hands-on experiments, this is your camp!

9am- 4pm, includes a new hands-on, interactive tech-arts
“Challenge” project each morning and afternoon Ages 6-14
(flexibility on ages; please email SummerCamp@Maker-State.com with
questions). While our Challenge Projects are structured building and
learning experiences, we manage our MakerSpaces so that kids of
diverse ages and abilities can engage in and master new STEM skills
during each session. Drop off from 8:30am and pick up until 4:00pm
with Free Build time in Minecraft Engineering, Scratch Coding & Game
Design, and 3D Design during Before and After Camp Care. Our staff
will not be on-site before 8:30am and after 4:30pm. Lunch & Recess!
Daily lunch and recess with supervised physical games. Kids must have
their own NUT-FREE snacks and lunches. We’ll have plenty of time for
fun games during lunch and recess like Four Square, Spikeball, and
Capture the Flag Laser Tag! 7:1 student-to-instructor ratio. Each
instructor is a 2018-2019 Maker Fellow, trained in 21st Century Skills
learning, the Engineering Design Process, and our award-winning
Challenge Curriculum. Our Maker Fellowship program trains
STEAM-mastery instructors in schools nationwide. Cancellation: To
cancel registration for a week of camp, MakerState must be notified 30
days prior to the start of that week of camp to receive a refund for
the full balance of registration. Cancellation less than 30 days prior
to the start of a week of camp will incure a $250 non-refundable
cancellation fee. Any week that has already been paid for is
transferable to family or friends. At pick up time, photo ID will be
required by whoever is picking up campers. All camp programs may

Digital Arts Camp Day Description: Camp days start at 9:00am and runs
through 4:00pm full of exciting STEM challenges! Each morning starts
with a meeting to establish the two challenge builds of the day,
introduce students to the keywords that will be used in describing the
challenge, and explain the main concepts that will be covered.
Engineers will dive into the morning challenge by brainstorming
solutions as a class and researching methods through examining
pre-built prototypes. Working in small groups, engineers will build
their first prototype and playtest their design. Until lunch young
engineers will iterate on their initial designs culminating in a
presentation and a badge ceremony in which young engineers will be
awarded a badge to commemorate their effort solving the problem. After
the morning challenge, young engineers will take a break to eat lunch
and enjoy recess activities such as Four Square, Spikeball, and
Capture the Flag Laser Tag! Returning from recess, students will start
the second challenge of the day. Following the steps of the
engineering design process outlined in the morning challenge.
Afternoon projects will culminate in a parent presentation and a final
badge ceremony. 9am Open Makerspace: exploring and creating with
littleBits, MaKey MaKey, CircuitScribe, and Snap Circuits (the
earliest time Staff will be accepting campers is 8:30am) 9:30am Circle
Meeting: find out the Masterpiece we’ll build this morning with a
special emphasis on how it’s built, the STEM concept/skill the
engineers will apply/learn when they build, and where they see this in
the real world. Engineers will brainstorm solutions as a class that
everyone can use. 9:45am Engineers receive their first
“Challenge”. They will build the Masterpiece in collaborative
groups or individually, with a break for a healthy snack in the middle
11:30am Break for lunch and physical play recess including games such
as four square, spikeball, and capture the flag laser tag! 1pm Circle
Meeting and another Challenge and Masterpiece building session in the
afternoon 2:45pm Engineers build two Masterpieces each day that
demonstrate their new interest and mastery of STEM concepts and
skills. A circle debrief, in which we reflect upon our creativity and
collaboration, ends the day. 3:00pm Circle Debrief: we reflect upon
our creativity and collaboration and earn our badges. 3:30pm
Free-format time to accommodate Parent Pick-up. 4:00pm Camp Closes.

may be asked to leave for the remainder of the camp week with no
refund offered for the remainder of that week. 7. How much screen time
will the campers have? Our programs focus on project-based learning
combining both physical and digital aspects of challenge series.
Students will spend an equal amount of time on computers compared to
physical build activities as well as an hour and a half for lunch and

registration information? Yes, you may update your information at any
time before the MakerState summer camp week begins by logging into
your Eventbrite account and editing the information. 10. Is it ok if
the name on my registration doesn't match the person who attends? Yes,
it is ok if the registration name does not match the camper attending.
Eventbrite does not allow us to edit the field on the purchasing
registration name to clearly identify the camper's name, so the camper
name was added as a required field per registration confirmation to
help resolve this. 11. Is my registration for one week transferable to
