INVENTORS WORKSHOP| 2nd & 3rd grade
In Partnership with the Natural History Museum of Utah
June 23rd – 27th
8:30 am – 4:30 pm
$280.00
It’s all about the creative process, inventors, and inventions this week. While at Discovery Gateway each morning we’ll get ready to participate in messy science. We’ll experiment with Instant Worms, create rockets, participate in Operation Egg Drop, and lots more. At NHMU each afternoon we’ll investigate inventors and invention that helped shape our world from the use of solar power to perfecting a kite design. Drop campers off at Discovery Gateway by 8:30 am and pick up at NHMU by 4:30 pm. Transportation between sites will be provided by NHMU

DEVELOPMENT LAB| 4th & 5th Grade
In Partnership with the Natural History Museum of Utah
June 23rd – 27th
8:30 am – 4:30 pm
$280.00
Join us as we explore the science, inventors and the inventions that have helped shape our world. We will tinker with ideas, build prototypes, and deconstruct gadgets and toys. We’ll use the leftover components to construct our very own contraptions. Campers will also explore a variety of messy science as they work with a wide range of materials that will be use to inspire design.
Drop campers off at NHMU by 8:30 am and pick up at Discovery Gateway by 4:30 pm. Transportation between sites will be provided by NHMU

RECLAIM IT!
In Partnership with UMOCA| 2nd – 5th Grade
August 4th – 8th
8 am – 4 pm
Members: $185.00 Nonmembers: $200.00
During this camp, discover ways that art and science illuminate what it means to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Starting at Discovery Gateway, use your imagination to transform trash into treasure. Create unique works of art with unusual materials and unearth the essential reasons why we recycle through science experiments and hands-on projects. Then, head to the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art to explore recycled materials in art, gain inspiration from the outdoors, and use the fundamentals of art as a springboard for creating a functional outdoor sculpture in UMOCA’s gardens.
Children will travel to UMOCA with Discovery Gateway educators via TRAX.
