Due to safety concerns and financial constraints related to COVID-19, we're sad to announce that we must cancel this year's summer session. We look forward to resuming activities next year! For those who have already registered, we'll be in touch soon. Stay safe and healthy!

The campers are putting together their prototypes!

More than two million people in America are amputees, and some of these individuals use prosthetic devices. For the next activity, the campers will design and build their own prosthetic. Right now they are brainstorming ideas for their device!

It is Day 1 of the last week of CampBioE, and this morning the campers are delving into body mechanics! Right now, they're dissecting a chicken leg to explore its anatomy and learn more about its function.

We are hosting the @CrossroadsFdn for a mini camp. This year's theme is Alien Invasion, and some poor aliens lost a few teeth so we're 3D printing a crown for those missing chompers!
