This class will excite kids who want to figure out how stuff works, build it and redesign it to make it even better. The design challenges are generally related to engineering designs, but can also be chemical, biological or mechanical. Students will decide on their design challenge and then construct their “machine” by mid-week. Then, they will test and redesign their project before taking it home.

Pottery is a physical form of art. We will be working with self-drying clay to make things such as plates, bowls, mugs, jewelry holders, and anything else the students can imagine. We will be learning about different techniques such as throwing clay, pinching, slipping, coiling and glazing. At the end of the week, students will be able to take their pieces home along with the ability to use their knowledge to make more pieces on their own.

In astronomy camp, kids will learn details about our solar system and our galaxy. We’ll talk with Astrobiologists about their research to find life on other planets. We’ll figure out ways to get humans from Earth to Mars, and how we can sustain life there, which involves some chemistry. Students will learn how a telescope works. They will build one of two different types of simple telescopes—an astronomical and a terrestrial telescope—each with a magnification of 5X. They then experiment with the different telescope designs and determine how the lens combination in each telescope works to magnify an object’s image. At the end of the week, students can take their telescope home so that they can look at the stars.

The All Day STEAM Camps give students the opportunity to attend both the morning and afternoon camps. Mornings start at 8:00 a.m. and end at 12:00. We will have your child eat a packed lunch brought from home with us between 12:00 and 1:00, supervised free time. The afternoon sessions start at 1:00 p.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. For the All Day STEAM Camp, you will receive a reduction in the rate of signing up for two camps. Camps are generally for children 7 and older. If you need to drop your child off earlier than 8 or pick them up later than 5, please let us know your needs! We've decided to also offer a camp for our younger kiddoes (3 to 6) the weeks of June 23-27 and July 28-August 1st, 2025

20% off this course when you sign up by August 31st. Use code: PREP20Michelle is providing this instruction. She has taught both IB Biology and IB Chemistry for many years in Denver, so she knows the content, the test, the strategies for taking the test and is more than highly qualified to instruct your child to do their best.Passing the IB or AP Biology test can provide college credit, a financial savings of thousand of dollars, and a time savings of hundreds of hours. This class includes a pretest to determine baseline with specific strategies to maximize scores, and test-taking strategies that statistically work. We will focus on Biology concepts that are often challenging for students, including chemistry of macromolecules, cells and how they communicate, change and multiply, heredity, gene expression, evolution and ecology. We will offer in-person classes in Conifer, CO, and can be taken virtually based on your needs and location.Office Hours available after classes for students to get more individual attention.

Want to move forward in your career or have always wanted to get your high school diploma? This is the class for you! It is for adults who did not receive a high school diploma or high school students looking for another way to graduate. We will provide specific support for the GED and HiSET exams, including practice tests and individual areas of need to pass the test. We will help you sign up for the test, and support you throughout the process even after our formal sessions are completed.

Biology is all about the language of science, what things are called and how they work. We offer individual or group 1-hour sessions to help you child achieve their highest grade possible, and more importantly, to help them believe in their abilities to understand something challenging. They become leaders in their classes, helping others understand ecology, ecosystems, evolution, genetics, physiology, molecular biology and more. Tutoring for high school students is can be done individually or in small groups. Michelle will lead these session, as she has taught Biology, IB Biology and has a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science. We will answer questions from your classes, help you with writing quality answers to questions as well as doing the math involved. We will provide homework help to get that done early in the weekend so that you can have fun the rest of it. This class can be done in person or virtually, depending on your needs and location.

Biology tutoring for college, IB or AP students will help students achieve understanding and build confidence in their college-level coursework. Michelle will lead these session as she has taught IB Biology and has a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science. We will answer questions from your classes, help you with writing quality answers to questions as well as doing the math involved. We will provide homework help to get that done early in the weekend so that you can have fun the rest of it. We will be sure to cover challenging topics for Biology students, which include micro (molecular, genetic, cellular respiration, active and passive transport, etc.) and macro (ecosystems, evolution, biodiversity, photosynthesis, etc.) biology topics needed to ace your class. you can receive support either in person or virtually, depending on your needs and location.

Chemistry is so challenging, but is truly the most interesting STEM topic once students understand and feel confident with it. Michelle will support these sessions, as she has taught IB Chemistry and has a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science from the College of Veterinary Medicine. These sessions will answer questions from your classes, help you with writing quality answers to questions as well as doing the math involved, which can be extensive. We will provide homework help to get that done early in the weekend so that you can have fun the rest of it. Challenging Chemistry concepts include stoichiometry, organics (nomenclature, physical and chemical properties, biological macromolecules), isomers, polymerization, redox and much more. You can get the support you need either in person or virtually, depending on your needs and location.
