About
Welcome to Young Engineers / Mini Inventors Lab S.T.E.A.M Camp! Where budding builders and inventors unleash their creativity while mastering the art of engineering and design! Perfectly tailored for curious minds aged 4.5–11, this camp combines fun, hands-on projects with real-world problem-solving—sparking curiosity in science, motion, and mechanical engineering.
Build, Innovate, Create
Campers will explore the principles of mechanics, machines, and movement through engaging activities that challenge their imagination and critical thinking. From designing secure mechanisms to building moving machines and racers, every day is packed with exciting engineering adventures and creative inventions.
What's in Store?
Cardboard Safe
Design and build a working cardboard safe with a simple locking mechanism—then test it in a "security challenge" to see whose design is strongest!
Paddle Boat Racers
Create a self-propelled paddle boat powered by elastic bands and race it across water while learning about propulsion and drag.
Hydraulic Machine
Build a simple hydraulic or pneumatic-style machine that moves using pressure—discover how real machines lift, push, and operate!
Sling Shot
Engineer a handheld launcher using craft materials and test force and angles through safe target challenges (using soft projectiles).
Trigger Launcher
Construct a trigger-style launcher and explore motion, stored energy, and precision through fun accuracy games.
Mini Elevator
Build a working mini elevator model and learn how vertical transport works through lifting and guided movement.
Conveyor Belt
Design a moving conveyor belt system to transport objects—just like a real factory line—then optimize speed and control.
Interactive and Inspiring
Guided by experienced instructors, campers will collaborate, test ideas, and improve their designs through hands-on building and friendly challenges—gaining confidence as young engineers in a supportive, creative environment.
A week of engineering brilliance awaits! Join us at Young Engineers S.T.E.A.M Camp and let your child's imagination soar.
