SciFun Camp: Sci-Fi: Past, Present, and Futuristic (day 2 of 4)


What’s your favorite sci-fi movie?  Did you ever wonder if the gadgets and advanced technologies you see in the movies could exist one day, or even already exist?  Well, it turns out some of these technologies featured in movies, even from ones over 100 years old, actually went on to become real...or at least somewhat real! While we haven’t invented time travel or passed through any wormholes (yet?), there are some cool sci-fi technologies we can explore and experiment with in this camp.   

It all begins with learning about the actual, solid science and technologies that a lot of sci-fi is based upon. From there, we will critique videos and clips from popular sci-fi films, you will make your own sci-fi gadgets, even learn what makes for a good sci-fi story and make your own storyboards and scripts for a sci-fi feature.

Learn how to control magnetic fields, hover objects above ground, and make a certain glowing sword.  Even the things and ideas that have so far not come to pass - think telepathy, teleporting humans, bending space and time and traveling through a wormhole, bringing back dinosaurs - are interesting and fun to think about!

For elementary school age learners.

This is a 4 day camp. Camp runs January 2nd-3rd. Drop-off for camps are from 8:00-8:20 (drop off) to 3:30-4:00 (pick-up).

Cost is $160 for members and $200 for non members (Members, please log in to your account and use the discount code previously emailed to you)
