Can't get better than that! Students will divide into competitive theme park teams. They will challenge other teams in specific engineering-related contests with the goal of creating the most fantastic and thrilling theme park experience! Engineering Olympiad - Who has the strength to be a world-class athlete? In this camp, students will separate into counties and will compete against opposing counties in various tests of mental and creative strength. The students will earn "medals" throughout the week and will endeavor to become the next great team of Olympians. Wreck-It Week - Smash! Crash! BOOM!
