The ExplorOcean Makers Camp is exploration at its finest. Campers will participate in guided projects using LittleBits, Makey Makey tools, and more. They will also create self-designed inventions using their base kit (included in the materials feel) and all of the tinker tools they can get their hands on in our innovation lab! From mini-motors to laser cutters, alligator clamps to pipe cleaners, conductive paint to play dough….the ExplorOcean Innovation Lab surrounds campers with all of the tools to explore, imagine, and create. This is the dreamer’s dream camp!
