th
$129 – Eureka!
July 30 - August 3rd, from 9:00am to noon
This is a camp designed by you—the Inventor! Each day
you’ll be given a series of challenges which must be
overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips from
world famous inventors and the most important thing of all –
your mind. With a little bit of ingenuity you’ll construct
catapults and forts and then lay siege, fabricate a winning
Egg Drop design, construct a dancing robot and assemble a
working light saber to take home. While Thomas Edison said
invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration, this camp
is 100% fun!
To register fill out the form and mail with check to the Lyme Town Hall or
contact Mad Science of Southeastern CT to pay with a credit card. Call 860 3769451or register online at WWW.MADSCIENCE.ORG/SECONN.
