October Camp, Week 2: Superheroes & Fairy Tales Science

Embark on an enchanting journey into the captivating realms of superheroes and fairy tales at our one-of-a-kind Science Holiday Camp for young minds aged 4 to 12

Dive into a world where superheroes harness the power of science and fairy tales come alive with fun experiments! This October, our holiday camp invites young adventurers to unlock the mysteries behind their favorite stories.

In the morning, students will engage with Lego Robotics, utilizing Lego Spike Prime to construct robots. These robots will then be coded using a programming interface similar to Scratch’s block-based system or, alternatively, with Python.

By afternoon, our camp transforms into a bustling hub of imaginative science and engineering! Ever wondered about the science behind Spider-Man’s web-slinging or Iron Man’s flight? We’ll delve into the physics and chemistry that could make these superhero feats a reality. Will you use engineering principles to aid the Three Little Pigs in constructing a wolf-resistant home? Or perhaps you’ll employ the magic of time management and innovative transport solutions to ensure Cinderella doesn’t miss her midnight deadline? Whether it’s classic tales or Marvel epics, we bridge the gap between imagination and reality, showing how science plays a pivotal role in every story.

After our break, the world of coding beckons. Campers will have the chance to play with our coding robots, explore the OSMO coding set, or even design their own simple video games and narratives using Scratch. Challenges will be set according to individual abilities, ensuring everyone finds the right level of fun and engagement.

Quick notes for our guardian wizards and fairy parents:

• Doors to our magical realm open at 09:00 with Drop Off from 09:00 to 09:15
• Morning session Pick Up is from 11:45 to 12:00. For those staying the day, afternoon or full day session Pick Up is from 16:45 to 17:00
• For those with tight spells (or work schedules), early drop off and late pick up options are available on the booking platform under “Early/Late Care Reservation” (reach out to Lisa at lisa@littlescientists.ch for fee details). A friendly reminder: if we’re not informed in advance of a delayed chariot (or car) arrival, a late collection fee may apply
• We’ll have two snack breaks—one in the morning and another in the afternoon. However, young adventurers should pack their own magical munchies and elixirs (snacks and lunch).
  Whenever the weather allows, we’ll enjoy our meals and free play outside. And remember, no magic mirrors (screens) during breaks

Whether you’re a superhero in training or a budding fairy tale scientist, this is the place to be. Enroll today and let the adventure begin!
