EFK – Sphero Robotics and Coding
Do you love robots and have a passion for coding and adventure? This is YOUR camp!

The young engineers will program and code their robots to complete awesome activities.

Program a painting. Navigate a maze. Mimic the solar system. Swim across the water. Have a dance party… The only limit is your imagination. We thrive to inspire curiosity, creativity, and invention! 
EFK - Master Machines: Explore the world of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering! 
Campers get your thinking hats on, you are introduced to the concepts of circuit design, building, and testing through various hands-on engineering activities. You will use the Engineering Design Process to design, create, test, and improve a variety of machines and mechanical systems.

The young engineers will design, build, and test electric magnets and flashlights. ] The fun continues as they explore the concept of force, trajectory, and friction through designing and building hydraulic arms, launchers, rubber band racers and more! The best part, you take home all your builds to share with family and friends. 
EFK - 3D Modeling & Creations: Imagine. Design. Create. 
3D Printing has taken the world by storm!

This innovative new camp brings your ideas to life and allows everyday users to create nearly anything they can imagine. Have a cool idea for an invention? Why not print it! Design anything and together we make it a reality. This camp encourages an open-ended design concept.

Explore the concepts of 3D printing and computer-aided design to bring your own creations to life!
​
Design a model in preparation for real 3D printing! Take it home and show off your creations to all your friends! The fun doesn’t end when camp does; Continue to improve your skills at home using the same TinkerCAD modeling software you learned at camp with 24/7 access!!
EFK - Mechatronics Master Minds: Young Inventors!
This summer our campers will build, create, and invent as they explore the basics of mechatronics engineering, logic-based programming using littleBits and Arduino. They will work together to design gadgets, tools, and machines from self-driving vehicles and art machines to a Chain Reaction Contraption.
​
Our mission is to empower everyone to create and invent.
EFK - Dino Bots
Our young camper will play and learn with Lego WeDo and get a unique opportunity to revive the prehistoric world!

We introduce children to the classification of dinosaurs, when they lived,  why they disappeared, the periods of the prehistoric world and more. Give your children an unforgettable camp journey into the prehistoric world of dinosaurs!
​
 Together we will foster a love of science, exploration, and nature!
EFK - Junior Robotics: Wild Animals and Ozobots
This camp is a perfect mixture of fun and learning, using LEGO® WeDo™ Robots. Using LEGO® bricks, students build a hungry alligator, a flying bird, and a roaring lion.
​
The young campers will also work as young scientists, engineers, and mathematicians to create colour patterns and code their Ozobot to solve puzzles, traverse mazes, dance and even go bowl! 
EFK - Junior Adventure and Discovery!
Explore the skies, mix your Crazy Concoctions, and jump into 5 days of jam-packed adventure!
Campers will discover the fascinating wold of chemical engineering as they out on the lab coats and make their own playdough, slime, and bubbles.

The young astronauts will get ready for the big space adventure as they design, build, and launch their bottle rockets over 100 ft into the air.

Find your inner engineer through innovation, collaboration, and play!
EFK – Junior Inventors
Over the course of a week, students will invent new machines and explore creative design solutions using the Engineering Design Process.

Design your own Drawing Robot, make your own Play dough, build your own operation game, and use your Tinker Box to invent something new.
​​
We encourage learning that fosters students’ creativity, courage, and curiosity through open-ended challenges in the fields of STEM, fine arts, and learning.
