Youth will practice the art of foley and discover how everyday objects can mimic a variety of noises.
Youth will test out wave interference by using an online simulation, while learning about amplitude, frequency and the invisible movements of particles in the process of sound.
Youth learn about recording hardware and tools for mixing, test audio effects and hear how we can alter sounds.
Explore music composition using MIDI. Learn about key melodies and harmonies which can be written in MIDI.
Make a security box using Makey Makey. Use conductive materials to maintain a circuit when the box is closed.
Connect cups of water to the Makey Makey buttons and control a Scratch drum kit! Play the drums by dipping a conductive drumstick into the cup of water.
Use Makey Makeys to remix a dance dance revolution style game on Scratch. Then design a game controller to play a Scratch version of Dance Dance Revolution!

Youth will brainstorm their ideas for the game they would like to make in Scratch.
Youth will learn how to use if statements in their code to check different conditions to be able to create their own Rock, Paper, Scissors game in Scratch!
Youth learn about how computers choose random numbers by writing out phrases for a Magic 8 Ball and making their own random numbers to "shake the ball" with.
Youth will learn how to add scores to their game to make it more interactive.
Campers will be introduced to the fun technology of Makey Makey! Campers will learn about electricity and circuits to understand how the Makey Makeys work and test out different household materials to determine what objects can conduct electricity.
Youth will learn about invertebrates and what phyla they are in through an invertebrate classification game.
Youth will learn about what bioluminescence is and how deep-sea creatures use it.
Youth discover how sharks float by making their own floating shark models.
Students will simulate ocean currents and the thermocline by learning about temperature differences and their densities.
Students will test salinity in a variety of experiments to understand the effects of salt in bodies of water.
