Materials in the World Around Us – What “Stuff” is Made Of

Camp Info

August 10 - August 15, 2020
7:00am - 2:30pm
Ages: 11-17
Fee: $89

This camp has been converted to an online format due to COVID-19. All students and instructors will participate remotely. Look around you! Materials make up everything that you see. The field of materials science and engineering offers career opportunities in just about every industry and affects almost any “thing” you can imagine. The science of this field seeks to understand the properties of different materials through the scientific method. Once a material is characterized, engineering can be employed to use the material to create and fabricate items that meet the needs of industry and society. Materials science connects to many other disciplines including biology, chemistry, economics, and physics. While this class will be held remotely, we are planning on an array of home-safe, hands-on, fun activities to help learn about different classes of materials. Prior to the class, arrangement will be made for students to obtain kits of materials to be used during the class.
