HCC and MOSI presents: THE SUMMER STEAM ACADEMY!
We are thrilled to announce that we have teamed up with MOSI to bring our
community the very best of Tampa Bay’s summer camp programs! MOSI has been in
service of youth development, with particular focus on STEAM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts and Math) for many years. We are excited to have joined forces
with such reputable and passionate educators.
MATERIALS MATTER (GRADE 6-9)
What do you get when you cross metallurgy, physics, chemistry, civil engi-neering,
and mechanical engineering? Materials science, of course! This
STEAM-focused camp explores the materials used to make stuff stronger,
lighter and better, encouraging students to see opportunities to transform
science into technology through engineering. For example, students may
engage in a contest to see who can create the strongest cement or an exper-iment
in concocting elastic polymers. Join us for these and many other lab
activities during a fast-paced week of learning and fun! This camp is offered
in partnership with the American Society of Materials.
Program includes:
•Exploring nanotechnology and how science on a tiny scale greatly affects our world.
•Creating and testing materials of your own design.
•Investigating 3D printing technology and taking a printed object home with you.
DID YOU KNOW? MOSI members will
receive a discount on all HCC/MOSI STEAM
Academy camps!
MD LIFE EXAMINED (GRADE 6-9)
For those interested in exploring career options in health and medicine, but not quite sure what area they might enjoy most, this is an exciting
opportunity. Campers explore a variety of health and medical disciplines, from first responders to heart surgeons. They participate in hands-on
activities such as performing mammal heart and brain dissections, suturing patients, making an emergency triage, or investigating a mysterious
fatal outbreak that is sweeping the nation. Campers learn about surgical procedures, anatomy and physiology, risk factors, advanced scientific
research, and much more. This camp offers a foundation of knowledge that can lead to success in the medical profession.
Program includes:
•In-depth comparative anatomy vertebrate and invertebrate dissections.
•An opportunity to use advanced Vernier software and technology to learn about the physiology of various human organ systems by measuring activity of the
upper respiratory tract, lungs, heart, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system.
