Description
REC F AERIAL DRONE CAMP 9-12pm
Drone (REC FOUNDATION Mission 2026):
Students will engage with drones following the REC Foundation Mission 2026 curriculum, learning about drone flight, navigation, and mission-based challenges. Activities include piloting practice, obstacle navigation, and strategic problem-solving as students complete tasks inspired by real-world competitions, developing focus, coordination, and STEM skills.
Explore the world of drones in this hands-on workshop! Students will learn how drones fly, how to control them, and program them. Through guided activities, they will practice flying drones, understand drone technology, and complete fun challenges that build teamwork and problem-solving skills.
By the end of the workshop, students will have gained confidence in piloting drones and an understanding of aerial drone missions, making it a nice introduction for young tech enthusiasts and future engineers.
For the second half post lunch 1-4 pm, here are the options for students to choose from:
1. Public Speaking, Debate, Creative Writing & Spell B (1-4pm) OR
Spell Bee
Public Speaking:
This program helps students build strong communication skills by learning how to speak with confidence, purpose, and impact. Campers work on structuring their thoughts, improving articulation, and controlling tone, pace, and volume to communicate effectively. Through speeches, impromptu speaking, storytelling, and group discussions, students learn to express opinions clearly, think on their feet, and engage an audience. Emphasis is placed on confident delivery, audience awareness, and real-world communication skills that support success in school presentations, leadership roles, debates, and everyday interactions.
Debate:
Students learn how to structure arguments, present persuasive points, and respectfully counter opposing views. Through interactive exercises and friendly debates, they build critical thinking, reasoning skills, and teamwork, while enjoying a dynamic and supportive environment.
Creative Writing
Campers explore the art of storytelling and written expression, learning how to craft engaging narratives, develop characters, and create vivid settings. Through fun writing exercises, prompts, and collaborative projects, students strengthen their imagination, language skills, and ability to communicate ideas effectively. Time permitting, they may also share their stories with peers in a supportive and interactive environment.
Spell Bee:
Students build vocabulary, sharpen English language skills, and explore ideas through games, quizzes, and team-based challenges. Each day balances structured learning with excitement, helping children develop confidence, critical thinking, and a love for academic exploration in a supportive and motivating environment.
2. Math Hackathon Training (1-4pm)
This Camp is designed to challenge and inspire elementary students through an engaging blend of language, math, and science. Campers participate in focused Spelling Bee preparation and a friendly competition, Math Bee practice with logic and problem-solving challenges, and hands-on Science sessions exploring age-appropriate Physics and Chemistry concepts through fun experiments and activities.
