Epic Engineering Disasters (Morning)

Turn history's most jaw-dropping structural failures into a powerful launchpad for future success at the Epic Engineering Disasters (Morning) camp by Bricks Bots & Beakers (Plano STEAM Lab). In this action-packed enrichment program, curious kids explore legendary engineering mishaps, from the sinking of the Titanic and the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to the tumbling of the Fidenae stadium and the mythical wings of Icarus, to discover exactly what went wrong. Campers roll up their sleeves and rotate through four dynamic stations daily, including Science, Engineering & Technology, Art, and Personal Exploration, where they actively design, prototype, and test structural solutions of their own. This hands-on problem solving directly builds critical 21st-century soft skills like teamwork, public speaking, creative expression, and confident communication, wrapping up on a high note with a themed movie on the final day. Running each morning from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, this highly focused session is perfectly structured for early risers ready to kickstart their day with intense scientific discovery and hands-on building blocks. To stay safe and fully participate, kids should wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes ready for hands-on action. Please pack a nutritious, nut-free snack and a refillable water bottle to keep their energy levels high, as refreshments are not supplied on-site. Spots are strictly limited and filling up fast. Secure your child's place at the lab bench today to give them a summer of unforgettable breakthrough moments and confidence-building fun!
