BAM! offers a holistic summer camp experience that blends cutting-edge STEAM education with joyful movement and outdoor activities, fostering both intellectual growth and physical well-being.
Brains and Motion Education (BAM!) offers STEAM Adventures at Villanova University, where middle schoolers engage in project-based learning focused on coding, AI, machine learning, and game design. Campers build and program robots using LEGO and Strawbees Micro:bit, developing critical thinking and creativity through hands-on projects. They also explore game design using platforms like Minecraft and CodeCombat, learning game logic, problem-solving, and programming languages. The curriculum emphasizes collaboration and innovation, with weekly themes providing fresh challenges and opportunities for discovery. Beyond technical skills, the camp integrates social-emotional learning, fostering teamwork, communication, and resilience. Daily activities balance classroom-based learning with joyful movement, outdoor exploration, and group games, ensuring a holistic and engaging summer experience.
A typical day includes morning STEM projects, creative arts activities, lunchtime at the university dining hall, guided free time, and outdoor sports and games in the afternoon.
This camp is best for curious and active kids in grades 2-8 who are eager to explore STEAM topics, build new skills, and enjoy a balance of indoor learning and outdoor play.
