Bright Lights to Offer Summer Activities for Kids in Grades K-8
Bright Lights (www.BrightLights.org) has a variety of camps open that will appeal to many ages and interests. Here are a few that take place during their Programming – Week 4, June 22–26:
- Students in grades K-1 — In It’s a Snap! Intro to Coding (#604), students spend the mornings learning that coding with KUBO is as easy as putting together a puzzle and does not require any computers or coding experience.
- Students in grades 2-4 — Have a student curious about natural disasters? Do they keep any “eye on the sky” for weather changes? Have them join the morning meteorology team in Eye on the Sky: Weather Watchers (#604).
- Students in grades 3-5 — Get crafty! Making it Fantastic (#624) camp takes place from 9 a.m. to noon and lets students hone their “making skills” and become a master crafter. At the end of the week, their creations will be on display in a gallery walk!
- Students in grades 6-8 — Join the classroom lab in Genetic Engineering (#726) and discover how genetic engineering is a common and essential practice in biotechnology. From purifying plasmids to creating a DNA necklace, this afternoon camp brings science to life for students.
Bright Lights encourages students to try something new, opening the door to an entirely new passion!
