About This Activity
Love science? Curious about how the human body works? Step into the exciting world of medicine! In this hands-on camp, young scientists learn how doctors, engineers, and researchers solve real medical mysteries. Aspiring biomedical engineers will design prosthetics for animals, engineer helmets that protect the brain, and tackle genetics puzzles—like how two blue-eyed parents could have a brown-eyed child—by building DNA with BrickLab Genetics. Then discover the role of disease researchers as you create a response plan and develop a vaccine during a simulated epidemic. Campers will examine bacteria, discover how germs and viruses spread illness, and look at real pathology slides under a microscope. They’ll practice “surgery” by giving shots to oranges and suturing bananas, build models of lungs and digestive systems, and even dissect a sheep’s heart to learn how blood flows through the body. Throughout the week, campers discover how the body works as a furnace, a filter, and a fancy computer! Perfect for curious minds who love science, problem-solving, and getting their hands messy!
