Brains & Motion Summer Camp at UC Berkeley offers a dynamic blend of STEAM education and physical activity for young innovators. Campers engage in hands-on projects covering coding, game design, creative writing, animation, robotics, AI, and machine learning. Specific sessions include Jr. Coding with Splats + Scratch, MakerSpace Creations with LEGO, Robotics with Dash Robots, Creative Game Design with Minecraft, and MakerLab & Rube Goldberg Engineering. The curriculum emphasizes project-based explorations, fostering collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Beyond academics, the camp integrates guided movement, outdoor exploration, and low-key group activities like soccer to promote holistic development and well-being. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of diverse scientific and coding concepts, develop engineering and design thinking skills, and enhance physical development and teamwork in a fun, inclusive environment.
A typical day includes ice breakers, hands-on STEM projects, camp games and snacks, creative arts studio time, lunch, and camper's choice activities, balanced with joyful movement and outdoor fun.
This camp is best for curious and active kids who want to explore STEAM subjects through hands-on learning while also engaging in sports and outdoor activities.
