Animal Discovery & Design (Weeklong Camp)
Ages 6 – 7
July 22 – 26, 2019; 9 am – 3 pm
Children will engage in hands-on activities that demonstrate amazing animal adaptations found in insects, reptiles, mammals and birds. Then they will apply that knowledge to solve a series of design challenges that will help an animal or inspire a new invention. Design prosthetics to help an injured bird, create a prototype for a new paragliding suit, or build a better spider web. Live creatures will be featured!
A mid-morning snack will be provided. Exhibit exploration, a certificate of completion and a free 6-month student membership will be included for all camp participants. For more information, call 718-699-0005 ext. 320 or email aware@nysci.org.
