About This Activity
Pokémon Professors is a hands-on S.T.E.A.M. camp designed for children ages 7 to 9 that blends the imaginative world of Pokémon with real-world scientific principles and experiments. Chemistry & Reactions: Campers learn about chemical reactions by mixing baking soda and water to build their own "fizzing Pokéballs" and creating "Wheezer gas" using vinegar and baking soda to inflate a balloon. Electronics & Physics: Participants dive into circuitry by building light-up "Pika Circuits" with copper tape and LEDs, and construct "squishy circuits" using conductive Play-Doh and non-conductive clay. Campers also build rubber-band catapults to launch Pokémon figurines. Earth & Life Science: Young professors connect Pokémon to nature by learning about sedimentary rock creation to craft their own "Geodude," painting a Bulbasaur planter to grow radish seeds, building "Castform" weather wheels, and taking an outdoor nature walk to collect materials for a suncatcher. Art & Illusion: The camp includes creative projects like creating Pokémon thaumatropes to explore optical illusions, making squishy "fire, grass, and water" Pokémon using flour-filled balloons, and designing custom laminated Pokémon trading cards.
