SciGenie offers a truly hands-on and interactive approach where kids actively explore, build, experiment, and solve challenges every day with guidance from energetic and supportive instructors.
SciGenie Northern Virginia STEM Camps offer week-long, hands-on programs designed to spark creativity and unlock potential in grade-schoolers through middle schoolers. Campers engage in exciting activities, experiments, and games while learning real-world skills like teamwork and problem-solving. The curriculum covers diverse themes such as Robotics, 3D Printing, Video Game Design, Nature Adventures, Chemistry, Drones, Engineering, Art, and Programming. Activities include building and programming robots using systems like SPIKE, Essential, and Wedo, exploring how machines work, and learning about simple machines, electricity, circuits, and power sources through practical construction. Participants also delve into forensic science with experiments in ink chromatography, fingerprint analysis, and DNA extraction, or design and build prototypes like catapults and suspension bridges. The program aims to build confidence and develop critical thinking skills, preparing students for future STEM fields through fun and collaborative projects.
A typical day includes morning greetings, a STEM activity or project, a snack break, an indoor or outdoor activity, lunchtime, another STEM activity or project, a second snack break, more indoor or outdoor activities, and ends with genius games before dismissal.
This camp is perfect for aspiring engineers, inventors, and tech enthusiasts who love hands-on projects and outdoor challenges, with no prior experience required.
