In this camp we will use the SC coastal region as our muse as we explore concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) while making Art! (STEAM!) For example, students will learn about circuits as they create a lighthouse painting that really lights up, will experiment with cardboard engineering techniques as they create an underwater food chain themed assemblage, and will learn all about the flora and fauna of the low country through various printmaking techniques. Island inspirations will come to life through these, and more exciting hands-on projects.
