Follow on Google News | SciPreneur Puts New Twist on Summer Camp with Camp 4 a CauseScottsdale summer day camp shows kids how to use their time and talents to support a worthy cause.
By: Boxx Productions “Gen Z kids are very aware of social woes and many have a heartfelt interest to make the world a better place to live,” says Rose, co-owner of SciPreneur and president of Biz in a Boxx. “They truly believe their efforts will make an impact.” Camp 4 a Cause will offer traditional educational activities such as dance, robotics, music, sports, arts and crafts and science, along with SciPreneur’s Slimeology and Lemonology. Each camp program will concentrate on science and entrepreneurship while encouraging kids to think outside the box to create a product or service that can be used to make people’s lives better. “We don’t stop at teaching kids how to make a robot from a LEGO Mindstorms toolkit. We want them to start critically thinking beyond that and ask themselves, How can I use this knowledge to make something practical and beneficial for people to use?” says Smith Dodgson, co-owner of SciPreneur and founder of Discover Science 4 Kids. Camp 4 a Cause will run in Scottsdale, AZ from June 4-15, 2012 at the Scottsdale Neighborhood Arts Place. For more information on Camp 4 a Cause, visit the website at http://www.SciPreneur.org.
