The CERDEC Math and Science Summer Program uses a fun, hands-on approach to learning, which enhances your child’s interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The curriculum for each session is structured to help entry-level students achieve this goal. All programs are taught by state-certified teachers.
The CERDEC Educational Outreach Program is pleased to host the 2016 Math and Science Summer Camp at Harford Glen Environmental Center in Bel Air, Maryland.
One-week sessions lead students through hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, also known as STEM, experiences in a fun-filled camp environment.
Program topics generally align with CERDEC mission areas, encouraging campers to become excited about the fields in which the APG community works. Campers will learn about opportunities and careers as well as gain insight into STEM professions.
Entering 5th and 6th Grades
Campers will explore the science and history of flight and air craft design. From the first attempts to get off the ground to adventures in outer space, campers will experiment with the four forces of flight as they gain knowledge in aviation technology. Campers will engage in hands on experiences in small groups, while understanding the importance of the engineering process.
***Please note that this curriculum was used for the 4th/5th grade camp in 2014. If your child will be entering 6th grade in fall 2016, and attended the 2014 CERDEC camp as a 4th grader, there may be duplication of activities.
Entering 9th and 10th
Renewable Energy and the efforts to make our world “clean” are a buzzing topic. Campers will use critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and team building to solve our renewable energy challenge. Join us as we learn the methods and processes used by engineers and how you too can leverage these tactics in your own life.
Entering 7th and 8th Grades
Science and popular culture can be defined simply as the union of science and issues in popular media, such as cinema, music, television, games and novels. Some of the most heart-pounding moments in movie and television involve technology or scientific principles. Campers will work in small groups using science and math to explore practical experiences.
