Go from imagination to action. Harness your creative superpowers. Explore engineering.
Connect kids with their passions... and each other.
What could be better?
Prepare for a summer of excitement courtesy of the Engineering Clubhouse! We will explore science, engineering, and inventions all around the word. All camps will meet in the online project space where kids can share their explorations with each other. Your kids will have fun, learn, make like-minded friends, and discover what inventors and engineers do. We will get our hands on real materials to create real projects and discover the real process of solving engineering problems.
Check out the lineup for Summer 2018! All camps meet on a flexible schedule to support kids joining around the world. Watch the video to see how online summer camps work. You can also review Frequently Asked Questions:
Camps are designed to meet asynchronously so campers can connect with learners around the world. The Project Playground is powered by the Canvas Learning Management System. While on the Playground, learners will have access to moderated discussion boards, rich media content to support the needs of diverse learning styles, daily project prompts, and space to upload the results of their investigation. Many project prompts are designed to get kids outside. Camp activities are designed to run over 5 consecutive days.
Each section is intentionally limited to 12 students to help students get to know one another and develop a sense of team spirit. I will be interacting with each section on a daily basis to answer student questions, add additional content to customize the learning experience to the specific group, and give feedback on student projects.
I highly encourage enrolling gifted students with their age mates as the program is easy to differentiate. I am happy to create specific project spaces for groups of gifted learners. I have facilitated these programs with gifted students; I am well aware of the unique needs of gifted students. Please make a note on the student's registration.
The camps are designed to be flexible. If you're are concerned about accessing supplies, consider enrolling in Airplanes, Playgrounds, Waterparks, Music, Bridges, or Umbrellas week programs. These weeks require the fewest specific supplies.
Yes, scholarships are available. Please contact me at support@opportunityunlocked.com to discuss your financial needs. If you would like to make it possible for other learners to participate in these programs, you can donate to Opportunity Unlocked's Scholarship Fund.
No problem! Zap me an email at support@opportunityunlocked.com so I can get right back to you.
