How It All Started
• Engineering Fellows – Summer 2007– Expectations of Fellows Program– Sharing lessons with teachers/students– Assist MSiC with their summer program/create
one of our own
![Page 5: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why Engineering?
Real life skills developed through working on real problems
•Problem Solving Framework•Critical Thinking•Collaboration•Communication•Natural connections between math & science•Fun!

How to Build an Engineering Camp
The Nuts and Bolts
![Page 7: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Development of A Plan• Group(s) to target• Cost and funding• Staffing needs• Location and transportation• Theme and lessons• Publicity • Field trips• Speakers/presenters
![Page 8: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Target Group
• Grade level• Socioeconomic level• Sex ratio• Academic level
![Page 9: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cost and Funding
• Tuition - Charge to cover teacher salaries• Grants – to cover field trips and supplies• Donations• Use free speakers – NASA, parents• Use “found” materials for activities• Scholarships
![Page 10: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Staffing• One teacher per 8-10 students (including
floaters, technology people)• Administrators • Technology staff• Assistants• Get teachers trained
– MathScience Innovation Center offerings– Children’s Engineering Convention (spring)
• Be sure your staff is enthusiastic!
![Page 11: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Location and Transportation• We built on existing summer school program• Number of rooms – one per class and one for
group meetings• Computer access – set up laptop lab• Arrange for field trip transportation• Notice of times parents will have to pick up
![Page 12: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Theme and Lessons• Theme drove the lessons chosen• Lessons found on internet (see resources)• Teachers submitted lessons for review to
avoid repetition and to create supplies list• Vertical alignment is important• Schedule lessons around major events
![Page 13: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Publicity• Before
– Flyers sent home– Notices in local paper
• During – T-shirts– Student built web site– Article in local paper– Parent open house
• After– Presentations at conferences (VAST, GRTCM)
![Page 14: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Field Trips• Allow students to see engineers at work• Try to stay local• Send permission slips early• Check on rules and regulations of site you are
visiting• Take plenty of chaperones• Be sure trip is age appropriate
![Page 15: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Speakers/Presenters• Classroom speakers
– NASA– Parents– Engineering organizations– Engineering students
• Engineering Fair participants– Engineering organizations– Engineering firms– Engineering schools
![Page 16: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Timeline• By Feb 1st – identify teachers • By Apr 1st – develop lesson plans & schedule• By May 1st – advertise and send out
applications ($ due with application)• By June 1st – Notify students of acceptance• By July 1st – purchase all materials needed;
have all speakers and field trips lined up• By Aug 1st – wrap up and debrief
![Page 17: Powhatan Engineering Camp Presented by Diane Leighty – Mathematics Coordinator Anne Larrick – Science Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551b93d4550346a10a8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Execution Tips
• Coordinate with other summer programs– Buses, emergency forms, snack
• Set up rooms the week before• Have labels with student names on them
prepared to use for name tags and to label items
• Reflect at the end of each day and revise as necessary
• Invite parents last day• Call the newspaper for publicity
