Physics & engineering for 8 y.o

Jan 2009

I'm looking for good ideas for a few summer camps/classes. My son would spend all afternoon watching The Elegant Universe on npr.org on string theory, if I'd let him. He's passionately interested in math and physics and engineering. I'm just wondering what else is out there besides LHS and lego engineering at EC city daycamp. I wish we could do several half day classes, as the all day ones are usually out of our price range - and I don't really need him to be gone from 8-5! jenny


Check out Cal's Academic Talent and Development Program [ATDP], run by their school of ed. My 2 kids had a great time last year.
You might be interested in ATDP, run by UC Berkeley. See http://atdp.berkeley.edu/elem.geninfo.html Betty
Google the ATDP (Academic Talent Development Program?)summer camp offered by UC Berkeley and usually held near Richmond Annex or Point Richmond (I think). My friends kids like this program and there is a bunch of hands on opportunities for working with science. I think a kid who likes mechanical stuff would find this program interesting. You do need to apply and perhaps get a teacher's signature. Look for it online, and in the archives of this site. Science Mom
