- **Event Name**: Summer Camp: Simple Machines + Smart Design
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 03 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am – Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Ever wonder what’s inside everyday objects? Have you questioned how things work? In this summer camp, campers become engineers and problem-solvers as they take apart common items to discover the simple machines hiding inside.

Through guided exploration, campers investigate levers, pulleys, wheels and axles, inclined planes, wedges and screws by safely deconstructing tools, toys and household items.

Campers will test force, observe motion and learn how these simple machines make work easier in the world around us.

To wrap up the week, campers apply their new knowledge by designing and building a creative, upcycled project using reclaimed materials. Each camper takes home a one-of-a-kind creation—proof that understanding how things work can lead to smarter, more sustainable designs!
