This summer, build and program robots; test the strength of duct tape in engineering challenges; examine X-rays and study skeletons in an up-close look at animal medicine; learn the science of fire and rescue with real firefighters and prepare for a zombie invasion at Pacific Science Center’s Camps for Curious Minds. Located on The Overlake School campus in Redmond (20301 N.E. 108th St.), Camps for Curious Minds will offer stimulating themes for students in first through eighth grades in July and August.

Early bird registration is open until April 30.

Campers will experiment and discover the world of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through a variety of subjects.

Each camp is designed to engage children in creative thinking through hands-on experiments, challenging projects and most importantly, unique, fun experiences.

“Our camps offer a superior combination of hands-on learning, inquiry based exploration, experienced staff, engaging themes and accessible locations for curious minds of all ages,” said Chris Sullivan, Youth & Family Programs manager for Pacific Science Center.

Here are just a few of the engaging camps at The Overlake School in Redmond that are still available for registration:

Firefighter Academy for grades 1-2

Get Set To Be A Vet for grades 2-4

Robot Workshop for grades 6-8
