Description
During Skills Summit, Summer Sage campers roll up their sleeves and explore the real-world skills that help ideas come to life. This high-energy, hands-on week introduces students to engineering, design, communication, life sciences and teamwork through playful problem-solving and age-appropriate challenges.
This week is all about challenges that mirror real-world problem-solving and innovation. Students will:
- Design, build, and test structures using principles of structural engineering
- Explore digital coding and logic through interactive technology-based challenges
- Experiment with culinary chemistry to understand how ingredients transform
- Engage in urban planning and design to solve real-life community challenges
- Develop entrepreneurial thinking by brainstorming, planning, and pitching ideas
- Strengthen leadership, collaboration, and critical-thinking skills through team-based problem-solving
Each day is thoughtfully designed to stay on theme while offering fresh experiences. Morning and afternoon sessions introduce new materials, challenges, and ideas so learning feels exciting and never repetitive.
