Wonder what you can do to improve the life in your community and love design challenges? This camp is definitely for you! In this camp, you will work with the Butterfly Pavilion to learn about specific species and their necessities for life. You will complete a habitat design challenge and present your 3D printed habitat at the Butterfly Pavilion on the last day of camp. You will need to complete this permission slip for the field trip. You will also work with bioengineering concepts through the use of medical imaging in virtual reality and Arduino. After being introduced to circuiting and coding with the Arduino Microcontroller, campers will design and build a motoring device to address a health concern of their choice. No experience with coding, circuits, or Arduino required to join!
