Put your ingenuity to the test as you work in small teams to design, build, and program a variety of motorized machines with LEGO® WeDo 2.0 kits. Experiment with robotic sensors and add motors to create contraptions that drive, pull, grab, and more.

This camp is more than meets the eye! Learn about light, speed, and size as we uncover the mysteries of things too fast, too slow, or too small to be seen. Capture a sunset in a glass, go on a microscopic scavenger hunt, learn how microscopes work, extract DNA, and explore the world of nanotechnology.

Experience firsthand all the latest technologies in digital fabrication at BNY Fab Lab: 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters, and other CNC machines. Learn the design software for both 2D and 3D machines and make daily projects to take with you! Perfect for campers who have never been to the Fab Lab before, as well as those with prior experience.

includes technology fee

Build and code your own VEX GO rover and take on the ultimate challenge – reaching the Martian surface. Discover what it takes to plan a mission, navigate obstacles, and complete exciting coding and engineering tasks. From designing your rover and exploring Mars, to tackling real-world problems like landing safely, there is much to be discovered about our planetary neighbor!

Fool your eyes with optical illusions and virtual reality, test your senses, then put your mental powers to the test with puzzles, ciphers, codes, and more! Take a deeper look into the hidden secrets of the human mind! Investigate the seemingly trickery of the brain.

Greetings Agents, your mission is to hone your powers of observation and master mental and physical challenges as you train to be a spy. Conduct experiments to detect poisonous substances, decipher top secret codes, and test gadgets like night vision goggles and listening devices.

Explore the biggest of planets to the tiniest of moons! Train to be an astronaut, discover far away galaxies, and design your very own space rover. This is an intergalactic adventure you won’t want to miss!

*No camp July 3

Playing with your food is encouraged here! Take a bite out of science with experiments using kitchen ingredients! Learn about the science behind food, discover how cooking alters your food, and uncover some unusual uses for items in your pantry!

Please note: This camp requires handling items with dairy, wheat, sugar, and eggs. Campers may be tasting a few of these experiments.

*No camp on July 3.

Study the science of bricks! Construct 2D and 3D models and murals, design complex marble runs, and explore different styles of architecture. Discover simple machines, test a paper airplane launcher, and build a LEGO® wrecking ball!

*No camp July 3

Look to the skies as we take off for adventure! Explore potential and kinetic energy and experiment with Newton’s Laws of Motion. Test different airplane designs in a wind tunnel, learn how to safely land a helicopter on a flight deck, then construct a rocket and blast off!
