What: Some STEM camps are taught by scientists. Beam Center is spearheaded by artists, designers, filmmakers, musicians, and engineers in a quest to demonstrate that technology doesn’t just have to be ones and zeroes that make blips on a screen, but real-world items that can be used to have real-world fun. Here, eco-friendly, recycled raw materials used to create projects might include wood, cloth, rubber, and cardboard. Collaboration and interdisciplinary connections are strongly encouraged, and the end result just might be your very own functional, soap-box racer, culminating with an annual derby for all!
