BAM! uniquely blends STEAM adventures with joyful movement and outdoor activities, fostering holistic development and lasting friendships in an inclusive university setting.
Brains & Motion (BAM!) at UC Berkeley offers week-long summer day camps where middle schoolers engage in project-based explorations across various STEAM subjects. Campers dive into exciting topics like coding, AI, machine learning, animation, and game design, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing students to unlock new interests and develop existing talents through engaging projects. Beyond classroom activities, the camp integrates joyful movement and outdoor fun daily, including guided movement, outdoor exploration, and group activities like soccer and basketball, promoting collaboration and overall well-being. The program aims to spark curiosity, confidence, and meaningful growth, with a focus on holistic development in a fun, inclusive environment.
A typical day includes pre-care and check-in, ice breakers, multiple sessions of course instruction and project time, camp games and snacks, lunchtime, outdoor sports and games, and concludes with project sharing and clean-up, followed by check-out or after-care.
The camp is best for curious and active middle schoolers (ages 6-15) who want to explore STEM, arts, and sports in a collaborative and inclusive environment.
