StemQuest unplugs campers from the computer screen in this action-packed, story-based program. Throughout the week, campers will be constantly on the move as they experiment and play. StemQuest has intentionally extracted the wide array of exhilarating challenges and mysteries from popular gaming apps and turned it all into a live adventure. Campers will use age-appropriate rovers, bots, drones, and autonomous creative technology to jump over walls, push down obstacles, lift boulders, and navigate through galaxies. Teams of campers work together in indoor, outdoor, and open-spaced "worlds" throughout the week. In doing so, campers utilize life skills such as: collaborative problem solving, design, and curiosity to outwit, out-build, and out-smart the program instructor, The Wizard!
