List of Camps and Activities:

Tuesday, Dec 17

Escape Room
Building a Kite: Students will build a pyramid kite from scratch using tissue paper, straws, and string. Younger students will need kite templates premade and help tying knots, while older students will create their own templates and build the entire kite themselves.
Origami - Students will create “Sonobe Units,” which are one of the building blocks of modular origami. They will then use these to create 3D shapes such as a cube and bipyramid.
Maths related board games such as Sudoku, Chess, 99 Board Game, Rummikub, MasterMind, Prime Club, ThinkFun games etc.

Wednesday, Dec 18

Build a House for Ace: Students will be given materials and an incomplete set of instructions to create a house for Ace, plus a completed example. They will use their rulers and reasoning skills to figure out what the missing measurements and instructions should be.
Sudoku : Students will learn what Sudoku puzzles are and how to solve them using the process of elimination and logic and then to be challenged with Killer Sudoku, a variant of Sudoku which involves arithmetic along with regular Sudoku logic to solve the puzzles.
Maths related board games such as Sudoku, Chess, 99 Board Game, Rummikub, MasterMind, Prime Club, ThinkFun games etc.

Thursday, Dec 19

Marshmallow Spaghetti Tower Challenge: Students will construct a tower as tall as possible only using spaghetti and tape. Tallest tower wins!
Tangrams : Students will use tangrams to build spatial awareness. This activity includes five mini tangram activities to choose from, which are: Tangram Pictures, Geometric Figures, Making a Square, Creating Your Own, and a Take-Home Activity.
Maths related board games such as Sudoku, Chess, 99 Board Game, Rummikub, MasterMind, Prime Club, ThinkFun games etc.

Friday, Dec 20

Penny Boat: Students will construct a boat out of aluminum foil to float as many pennies as possible. Students will explore how the shape of a boat affects its buoyancy and how strategic, careful placement of pennies also makes a difference.
Euler Paths and Graphs : Students will be challenged to draw images without lifting their pencils or going over the same line twice. By the end, students will be able to determine a method to figure out how to draw the shapes.
Maths related board games such as Sudoku, Chess, 99 Board Game, Rummikub, MasterMind, Prime Club, ThinkFun games etc.

Tuesday, Jan 14

Slime: Students will adjust the ratios in a recipe for slime and make predictions throughout the process of how the added ingredients will affect their slime's colour or consistency.
Origami - Students will create “Sonobe Units,” which are one of the building blocks of modular origami. They will then use these to create 3D shapes such as a cube and bipyramid.
Maths related board games such as Sudoku, Chess, 99 Board Game, Rummikub, MasterMind, Prime Club, ThinkFun games etc.

Wednesday, Jan 15

Ciphers and Cryptography : Students will learn the basics of cryptography by learning how to encrypt and decrypt messages using three different ciphers : Pigpen cipher, Caesar Cipher and the Vigenère Cipher.
Sudoku : Students will learn what Sudoku puzzles are and how to solve them using the process of elimination and logic and then to be challenged with Killer Sudoku, a variant of Sudoku which involves arithmetic along with regular Sudoku logic to solve the puzzles.
Maths related board games such as Sudoku, Chess, 99 Board Game, Rummikub, MasterMind, Prime Club, ThinkFun games etc.

Thursday, Jan 16

Puzzle Room: Students will work together to investigate for clues, decrypt secret messages, solve puzzles, and engage in creative problem solving and proactive solutions.
Must have completed Ciphers and Cryptography

Maths related board games such as Sudoku, Chess, 99 Board Game, Rummikub, MasterMind, Prime Club, ThinkFun games etc.

Friday, Jan 17

Maze Coding: Students will learn the building blocks of coding as they program "robots" to navigate through a maze. Students will act as "programmers" and "robots" as they write, run, and debug their code, and students at higher levels will explore the usefulness of functions in speeding up the coding process.
Euler Paths and Graphs : Students will be challenged to draw images without lifting their pencils or going over the same line twice. By the end, students will be able to determine a method to figure out how to draw the shapes.
Maths related board games such as Sudoku, Chess, 99 Board Game, Rummikub, MasterMind, Prime Club, ThinkFun games etc.
