balls while learning about polymers and exploring molecular
action. Topics include: rubber band cannons, paper airplanes,
physics of music, slime and polymers, gross-ology, magnets,
crystal formation, engines, gravity, the science obstacle
course and more!

• Camp includes hands-on activities and culminates with an
opportunity for campers to apply what they have learned.
For example, students will be taught how to operate a
cannon that fires rubber bands, then discover how the
distance and path of a projectile varies with potential energy,
projectile weight and/or angle of launch. Topics include:
rubber band cannons, paper airplanes, physics of music,

build various devices such as a solar boat, power generating windmill, heart valve, robotic arm, glider, solar car,
crane, gravity crash safe car, alternative energy city, and a
speaker. Students also learn programming fundamentals by
programming Lego NXT robots. On final day, students compete with their final projects. Scholarships may be available

to explore and discover new design challenges beyond the
camp experience. Campers get to keep their RedBot at the
end of the week. The NC State College of Engineering has
partnered with North Carolina Space Grant Consortium and
Craven Community College. Scholarships may be available
for students with demonstrated financial need.
