STEAM Summer Camp: Happy 250th Birthday, America!
June 29 - July 3: Happy 250th Birthday, America!
Generously sponsored by BNB Electric
Special thanks to BNB Electric for making this week happen. Their support brings history, civics, and STEAM together right when it matters most. Because of BNB Electric, campers get to do more than celebrate America's 250th. They get to understand it. We're honored to have them as a partner.
America turns 250 this summer, and this week makes the celebration mean something. Using resources from the Smithsonian, the National Park Service, and America250, campers explore how communication, transportation, architecture, and civic systems have changed over two and a half centuries, then build, test, and create their way through that history. There's even a kid-friendly democratic simulation thrown in. History, civics, and STEAM together in one week that just happens to land right on the holiday.
