Superheroes + Science of Superpowers | Snapology Summer Camp

About this event

Get ready to have the best WEEK EVER! VIEW EXPERIENCE TRAILER HERE 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂: To the Batcave, LEGO® fans! Design your own superhero, create your own adventure, and build epic battle scenes. Have a blast as you create your own fantasy world of superheroes and supervillains, straight out of the pages of DC and Marvel comic books. Through fun, challenging builds and activities, students bring their favorite superheroes to life, drawing on the same engaging storytelling techniques used by professional comic book artists and moviemakers. You might even unleash some of your own superpowers! Students will learn: • Character and Story Development : Comic book creators and movie directors and producers bring the action-packed world of superheroes alive for audiences of all ages. In Snapology’s Superheroes program, students get to be the creators! Through fun, challenging builds and activities, students bring their favorite superheroes to life, drawing on the same engaging storytelling techniques used by professional comic book artists and moviemakers. • Presentation Skills: Many school-aged students struggle with their classroom presentation skills. Snapology will help your child feel more comfortable presenting in front of a class by having the child explain each of their builds to their peers in the class. Presenting something that they created—using something that they have interest in—will help their confidence in front of the class and will translate into their everyday confidence in the classroom. • Teamwork/Partner Skills : The AvengersTM and the Justice LeagueTM wouldn’t be able to defeat the world’s most devious supervillains without strong teamwork. At Snapology, we highlight those same principles in our programs. In our classes, we emphasize that the students use good teamwork skills. They are required to do group planning and to respect their partners’ opinions and ideas. 𝘼𝙁𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙉𝙊𝙊𝙉: In Snapology's Science of Superpowers program, students explore the world of their favorite superheroes. Students will learn about forces, energy, and problem solving as they build models inspired by Superman, Batman, and all their favorite heroes. Experimentation and fun are crucial components of this ‘super’ educational program!! Students will learn: • Physics, Forces, and Energy Students will engage in several topics in physics. Children will learn about collisions, flight forces, and air pressure as they build superheroes, their vehicles, and super accessories. Students will also learn how the science of the ‘super’ world compares to typical human forces and environments. • Simple Machines : Students will learn about several simple machines throughout the class. Whether learning about pulleys while creating a battering ram, or levers as they are launching paper boulders on catapults, students will see simple machines in action. They will also begin to think critically about their surroundings and realize all the simple machines they use every day. • Axles, Gears, and Motors: Children will learn about the importance of axles, gears, and motors in mechanical movement. They will actively experiment with these components to create their robots, while facilitating a deeper understanding of mechanics. • Programming Skills: Each week, children will be given a program to operate their robotic build. Students are then encouraged to use critical thinking and programming skills to enhance their robot’s program. Whether making their build respond to motion and tilt sensors, adding loops, or creating fun sounds, children will learn valuable programming skills in an easy to use, drag and drop programming format.
