🎮 Unplugged Gamer Lab: The Science Behind Video Games
What if your child could step inside a video game—and build it themselves? In this one-of-a-kind camp, kids explore the science behind their favorite games by turning game mechanics into real-world creations. Instead of screen time, campers dive into hands-on challenges where they design moving systems, test forces and motion, create reactions, and engineer game elements using simple machines and materials.
Each day brings a new “level” to conquer as kids experiment, build, and problem-solve just like real game designers. The grand finale? Campers work together to create and play their own fully interactive, unplugged video game experience—no screens required.
This high-energy camp blends creativity, teamwork, and STEM learning in a way that feels like pure fun—but delivers real skills. If your child loves video games, they’ll love discovering how they actually work… and realizing they can build one themselves
