The program uniquely blends hands-on design and engineering projects with daily explorations of Boston, connecting learning to real-world environments and inspiring future STEM innovators.
Design at Advent offers dynamic STEM programs for children ages 5–12, focusing on hands-on engineering and design thinking. Across various immersive themes, children engage in building, experimenting, and creating to develop problem-solving skills and confidence. The curriculum emphasizes the design process, from imagining and sketching to building, testing, and refining ideas. Campers utilize recycled materials and learn proper tool usage. A key component of the program involves engaging field trips throughout Boston to museums, science centers, local parks, and innovative community spaces, connecting classroom learning to real-world environments and challenges. These excursions also provide opportunities to meet experts in STEM fields, offering firsthand insights into potential careers. The program culminates in a Design Expo where children share their creations and prototypes with friends and family.
Each day, designers and faculty explore Boston, play games, and gather inspiration, with programming running from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
This camp is ideal for curious minds aged 5-12 who enjoy hands-on projects, creative problem-solving, and exploring how STEM concepts apply to the world around them.
