Physics and Technology

Cost: $565/week Ages: 8 – 15 years Time: 8AM-4PM

Have you ever built a ten-foot tower out of blocks or had your hair stand on end? This summer you can fly around the world using a life size version of Google Earth, blow bubbles the size of a small car and climb around in a DNA double helix. Spend the week exploring science museums and even a submarine. Learn how roller coasters work and what it takes to become an astronaut. Learning is cool and electrifying in the Physics and Technology camp at UAC.

Trips:

Day 1 : Outdoor Exploratorium/Musee Mecanique/USS Pampanito

Day 2 : Tech Museum

Day 3 : Exploratorium

Day 4 : Chabot Space and Science Center

Day 5: Lawrence Hall of Science
