This week, Karuna had the amazing opportunity to attend Camp Galileo. As her third camp this summer, I was curious to see how it would compare to the other two camps. As I mentioned in a recent post, Camp Galileo talks a big game. During each one-week session, they hope to inspire innovation by offering opportunities to imagine, create, and test their creations. Campers work together to build on their ideas and discover new ways to re-work their designs. All of this is based around a weekly theme and infused with fun & enthusiasm. After hearing the daily reports from Karuna and visiting the camp during their "art class," I was pleased to find that this camp definitely walks the walk!
The theme for this week was "Medieval Adventure." One of the first projects the kids collaborated on (in "science class") was building a giant castle wall and a catapult. They tested these creations by having some campers hide behind the wall, while others used the catapult to launch balls at the wall. The campers then used their knowledge to create their own smaller catapults.
Here is a photo of Karuna and her friend testing out their draw bridge pulley system that they created in science class.

Disclosure: I have received a week of free camp in exchange for three reviews of Galileo Learning. The views and opinions are completely my own.
