This camp is designed to develop 21st-century skills, empowering future female innovators to explore the "why" behind the "what" in science, technology, engineering, and math. Campers will engage in hands-on experiences, from building and programming electronic devices to coding them using a variety of sensors. As they explore, they’ll uncover the physics that drives these circuits and devices, learning how technology connects with the scientific principles behind it.
In creative sessions at Chatham Hall’s Makerspace, InnovatHERS will experience cutting-edge tools, including 3D printers, laser engravers, and casting with various materials. They’ll dive deep into the chemistry and physics behind these processes, investigating reactions and exploring the creative side of science.
Throughout the week, campers will have the opportunity to investigate diverse fields within science and technology, all while having fun and learning how to bring their own ideas to life.
During their stay, campers will reside in air-conditioned dorms under the care of faculty and counselors. Evening activities add even more excitement with tie-dye, s’mores, water balloon fun, bingo, and more, giving girls a taste of boarding school life.
No prior experience is necessary—just an open mind and a passion for discovery.
