All AIMS campers will select one academic track to participate throughout the duration of camp. Each track provides a unique, hands-on learning experience designed to engage students in collaborative exploration and creative problem-solving.
Families are encouraged to review each track description below and select the option that best aligns with their students’ interests.
Track One: Fantastic Four: The Elements of Science
Become a bold explorer of time and space! Student explorers will learn about the curious minds of ancient Greece to the daring feats of modern-day superheroes, investigating the universe through history, imagination, and discovery. Our explorers will build rockets, design and run experiments, and investigate the physical world with hands-on challenges. Every day focuses on one of the four classic elements, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, and each day will be packed with high-energy activities, wild experiments, and surprise encounters that spark curiosity and fuel adventure. Come ready to invent, test, and discover something amazing every single day!
Track Two: Heroes, Villains, and Rogues: Exploring Art, History, and Self
Get ready for an exploration of humanities and all things that make humanity special like Art, Literature, History, and culture. Join us for an exploration of ourselves and a little self-actualization. From the classics to pop culture, how do these things shape us and our world.
Track Three: The Legend of Gaming
Everyone loves to have fun and play games. Campers will do just that AND learn how culture, art, and mathematics influence game design. Throughout the week, we will play games featuring different skills and mechanisms, learn how game creators use probability, and how games have shaped society. Way more goes into gaming besides just fun! Campers will work on creating their own “fun and games.”
Track Four: Three Sciences Guiding the Fate of the Galaxy
Dive into the science behind humanity’s biggest survival challenges, from pandemics to AI to climate crises, and discover how health, computer, and environmental science stand between us and catastrophe.
Track Five: Engineers Assemble!
Get ready to learn what it takes to be a super(hero) engineer as you work with other campers to solve real-world engineering problems! From designing structures that could withstand a Hulk Smash to writing code that Iron-Man would be envious of, campers will learn how to implement the engineering design process through numerous hands-on projects related to one of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Through these projects, campers will develop their critical thinking and teamwork skills as they tackle various engineering challenges while also learning about the underlying scientific concepts that govern engineering design.
Selecting Your Student’s Track
Students should select the track that best matches their academic interests. Each track is designed to provide an engaging and enriching experience through project-based learning and interactive activities.
Track selection will be submitted as part of the AIMS Summer Camp application process.
