"I am one with the Force, the Force is with me.鈥 In this camp, we will take on the challenge of undergoing the Jedi Trials 鈥 learning to work our way out of sticky situations, control our minds (and others鈥) and create our own droids and full-size lightsabers to take home! This STEM-focused exploration takes us from the lavas of Mustafar to the icy wastes of Hoth, and will call upon our team-building and problem-solving skills as we use lasers, coding, robots, dry ice, and chemistry to make our way across the galaxy and help those we find on our journey. Once we have the skills needed to navigate the galaxy, we will gain the rank of Jedi Knight. Friday is costume day, and will will have an opportunity to showcase our engineering in front of a green screen and get a picture on any planet in the galaxy!
