Science & Discovery Center

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and explore engineering, technology, and math in our hands-on engineering camp just for girls! Campers will learn the basic principles of engineering design and use this process to solve a variety of challenges and explore how things work. Not only will campers get complete projects like building and testing bridges, exploring circuitry, and developing simple machines using unusual materials, but they will also have the opportunity to spend time in Corning Community College’s new Makerspace! The Makerspace contains a wide variety of tools and machinery, from woodworking to embroidery machines. It also has 3D printers and laser etching machines! Campers will work collaboratively with one another, the CCC staff, and real-life engineers during this incredible fun-filled week! This camp is inspired by Iren Bognar, who was the first female mechanical engineer hired by Corning Glass Works, and is funded through donations in her name. The camp is free to girls entering grades 6-9, and lunch will be included.

Don't forget to bring your morning snack, and a water bottle!
