Focused on a dynamic blend of biochemistry, engineering, and environmental science, this camp immerses students in hands-on lab and design experiences. Campers will investigate chemistry and biology through engaging activities such as molecular gastronomy experiments, blood-typing simulations, or crime-scene biochemistry challenges. They’ll build and program a take-home robot, design and race cardboard boats in the YMCA regatta, and explore ecosystem science in the Larry R. Yoder Prairie Learning Laboratory. A full-day field trip to Recreation Unlimited adds adventure as students conduct stream exploration studies and apply engineering principles to build survival structures in an outdoor setting. Together, these experiences spark curiosity, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving. If you have questions please email Tiffiny Rye-McCurdy at rye-mccurdy.1@osu.edu.
