STEAM Summer Camp: Happy 250th Birthday, America!
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. MORE INFO & FAQ
