The camp uniquely combines creative STEM education with civic engagement, empowering children to use technology to address real-world issues inspired by the Museum of the City of New York's exhibitions.
The GIANT Room's Creative STEM Camp at the Museum of the City of New York offers an immersive experience where kids design, code, and build robots and games to tackle real-world civic issues such as sustainability, equity, and cybersecurity. Campers delve into game mechanics, design thinking, prototyping, and play-testing. They learn fundamentals in block-based coding and robotics, including understanding inputs, outputs, and commands. The program encourages participants to think like inventors and social innovators, using technology to create positive change in their city. Activities include crafting physical arcade games, coding digital games, and designing robots that address community needs. Each day incorporates visits to museum exhibitions, inspiring campers to connect their projects with New York City's history and current challenges.
A typical day includes a morning welcome and museum visit, followed by a STEM project. After lunch, campers work on their projects, brainstorm ideas, experiment with tools, and take trips to Central Park, weather permitting, before a second project in the afternoon.
This camp is ideal for curious and imaginative children aged 8-12 who are interested in coding, robotics, and game design, and who want to use their creativity to make a positive impact on their community.
