Come be creative and have fun playing in the clay. Using pinch pot, coil, and slab techniques to create anything you can imagine. You will create 4 different projects with an additional project on the pottery wheel. Projects use pinch and roll techniques along with slipping and scoring. We will also be working on slab and coil techniques to create clay boxes and bowls. Once they are complete, they will be painted with a clay-based paint. They take two weeks to dry before they can be fired. They are dipped in a clear glaze and fired again. The projects will be dropped off at the main office and they will call or email you when they are ready to be picked up. Students will also get the chance to experiment with using the pottery wheel on the last day of class.

Battle Drones features an exciting combination of aerial acrobatics with an engineering design challenge that will teach students STEM concepts, teamwork, and how to skillfully fly a drone. In Battle Drones, teams of students will build robotic launchers designed to fling projectiles at their opponents’ drones. Students will be guided by experienced camp instructors in how to construct their launchers to maximize projectile speed and accuracy. The camp will culminate in an epic battle where students pilot their drones to safety by dodging opponent projectiles while using their own launchers to take down opponent drones. The best drone pilots and launchers will emerge victorious.
