Overview
Discover the perfect summer experience for your child! Our STEM Innovation Camp for kids aged 6–12 blends cutting-edge technology with hands-on projects to inspire tomorrow's problem-solvers. Students will engage in prototyping, fabricating, and exploring real-world applications of technology through expert-led workshops from the innovative Brandeis Makerlab.
Campers collaborate, build, test, and refine ideas together, learning not only technical skills but also the social and cognitive foundations of innovation.
