Curious learners, born builders, naturalists, thrill seekers, and kids that won’t take no for an answer will thrive this year at Carnegie Science Center’s Summer Science Camps. From robotics to astronomy and from zoology to video game design, Summer Science Camps offer awe-inspiring education for every interest, but are so much fun, kids don’t realize how much they’re absorbing. The new PPG SCIENCE PAVILION™ has enabled the Science Center to offer dozens of new topics and to have the resources to deliver on them. Plus, the camps allow your kids time to be physically active.
Inquisitive campers ages 4-18 step into the shoes of computer programmers, astronomers, scientists, and robotic engineers when they explore kitchen chemistry, solve puzzles in a real escape room, or investigate the amazing biology of Pittsburgh’s rivers.
Select camps also make use of BNY Mellon Fab Lab Carnegie Science Center, a digital fabrication laboratory. At Fab Lab camps, campers explore “maker” technologies and game design with computers, 3D printers, and laser cutters – and even get a chance to build a mini indoor drone!
Science Center camps include access to hundreds of hands-on exhibits, the world-class Buhl Planetarium, a real Cold War submarine, The Rangos Giant Cinema, and Highmark SportsWorks®. Science education professionals lead camp activities. In some cases, campers have an opportunity to take scientific field trips. Field trips include Kennywood, a Just Ducky Boat Tour, and a real escape room.
Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh members enjoy discounted rates. Camp fees include all activities, instruction, supplies, and a T-shirt. For your convenience, Carnegie Science Center also offers child care before and after summer camp for a nominal fee. Pre-registration is required.
