Intro to Architecture: A CTAE Camp
Summer Enrichment Camps

DESIGN A HOUSE OF THE FUTURE! Join us at our Architecture Camp to explore the past and the future of housing! Campers will explore the rich history of architectural design while discovering principles of green architecture and sustainability. Through engaging activities, participants will learn to implement sustainable materials and innovative techniques that respect our environment. What makes this camp truly special is the integration of art into the architectural design process. Each camper will have the opportunity to express their unique artistic vision as they design their own “House of the Future,” merging historical influences with modern sustainable practices. Join us for a summer filled with creativity, inspiration, and the joy of building a better tomorrow! This camp is taught by a CTAE teacher at Marietta High School.

Intro to Aerodynamics: A CTAE Camp
Summer Enrichment Camps

Get ready to rev up your creativity and engineering skills in this hands-on, week-long workshop where you’ll design, build, and race your very own CO₂-powered dragster! Perfect for middle schoolers, this workshop combines science, technology, and fun as you explore the mechanics behind fast-moving cars. Throughout the week, you will: • Master the Basics of Aerodynamics: Learn how shape and size impact speed, and explore design strategies to minimize drag and maximize speed. • Build with Precision: Craft your CO₂ dragster from start to finish, from initial sketches to the final model. You’ll use lightweight materials, specialized tools, and gain hands-on experience with engineering basics. • Test and Tune: Conduct test runs and fine-tune your dragster for optimal performance, making adjustments for balance, weight, and speed. • Race Day!: Compete in an exciting final race to see whose dragster is the fastest! Celebrate your hard work, analyze your results, and gain insight into what makes vehicles fly down the track. By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind CO₂ dragster, a solid understanding of aerodynamics and design, and plenty of memories from a thrilling week of races and engineering challenges. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlhcejJpqFw&t=0s This workshop is ideal for middle schoolers who are excited about cars, design, or engineering. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to dive into the science of speed! This camp is taught by a CTAE teacher at Marietta High School.

Exploring Electronics & Microcontroller Magic: A CTAE Camp
Summer Enrichment Camps

This 5-day summer camp will introduce students to the fascinating world of electronics and microcontroller programming. Through a series of fun, hands-on projects, students will learn the basics of electronics, how to build simple circuits, and how to program the Arduino microcontroller to perform a useful function or solve a problem. By the end of the camp, students will have developed basic skills in circuitry, coding, and problem-solving, and will have created a simple project that they can take with them afterwards to continue their learning. Topics covered will include: Understand Basic Electronics: What are electrons, current, voltage, and resistance? Explore Circuit Components: Learn about resistors, capacitors, LEDs, sensors, and motors. Build Simple Circuits: Create working circuits using a breadboard, wires, and electronic components. Write simple logic coding to solve problems step-by-step. This camp is taught by a CTAE teacher at Marietta High School.
