“A great place for kids to learn that science is really fun. The instructors are very passionate about what they do and are great at engaging kids. ”
Biomedical Engineering camps are part of our Med School Camps, teaching biophysics to kids
Best Winter Break Camps, Spring Break Camps, and Holiday Science Camps for Elementary Students in Chicago and Seattle
During the academic year we offer camps on school days off and during holidays. Day off camps are offered as half and full day camps from Sep-May. In addition to our day off camps, we offer holiday camps including: Thanksgiving Camp, Winter-Break Camp and Spring Break Camp (March and April).
Children are separated into age groups to ensure a great experience and do two science classes in the morning, an outdoor experience after lunch and finish with Afternoon Creativity Studio to develop their creativity.
Wondering why can change the world, especially when powered by hands-on science
At KSL, we are trying to do something so much more important than just giving kids STEAM tools (which I love), not because I want to but because the world demands that we teach kids differently. We need to support and uplift our schools to help, as they can't do it alone. If we don't teach kids creativity, innovation, how to harness and apply their imagination, how to process information along different planes, and how to think big, then they are expected to learn it on their own. This will never happen. Our education system in the U.S. does amazing things, as do the teachers who operate within its constraints. We also must appreciate that kids want to build, break, mix, and explore, not because they want to, but because its how they learn how things work. If you teach a kid the process for solving a problem, they will replicate the process very well. But this is absolutely not success. This is what you do for a robot that is not capable and equipped with one of the most powerful problem solving tools, Imagination.

Kids use real tools in PreK Science class that empowers kids with accelerated growth in STEM education
Whether we’re opening the refrigerator door or closing the screen of our laptop, hinges are all around us helping our world move! By investigating real objects like the small metal devices in a doorframe that help it to swing open, or the plastic lids on top of the maple syrup bottle that keep the syrup from spilling out, this week our scientists are observing that a hinge is simply something that connects two objects to help them rotate.
Kids are building real-world connections that even parts of our bodies, like our knees and our elbows, are also hinges, helping us to do things like run fast or swing a tennis racket!
Through creating hinges from different materials, like bendy straws and popsicle sticks, kids are discovering how the design of a hinge can affect its range of motion.
