Spring Camp 2012
Dissecting Your Way to Understanding Anatomy
Wouldn’t it be great if we could unzip our skin and take a quick peek inside our body? For practical reasons we will instead take a look inside other organisms such as squids, starfish, shrimps, clams, frogs, mice, chickens, sheep and pigs.
By dissecting each organism and understanding its environment, we will learn why humans and animals are the way they are. We will touch and feel organs such as hearts, brains and eyes and learn about their functions. By the end of the week, you'll be an expert on many of thekey organs and their functions - you will even be ready to perform a medical exam!
Led by Meri Gukasyan, a post baccalaureat Student at UCSF. She previously taught health to children at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science as well as through UCLA’s community outreach for prevention and education. Meri earned her B.S. in evolutionary biology from UCLA.
RoboGames
It’s party time and the only thing missing is you! Join us for a week of intense 
robot building that will culminate in the RoboGames competition in Menlo Park on April 21st. Each day we will be forming 4 teams of 3 students. Each team will use Lego Mindstorm NXT to build a robot that can complete a challenge in the RoboGames. At the end of the day, the teams will compete and the winning robot will compete on April 21st. Our challenges for the week are: Lego Tube Push, Lego Bowling, Lego Line Follow and Lego Open. On Saturday April 21st we will attend the competition. Kids to be driven by parents. Selected as one of "The Best Ten North American Geek Fests" by Wired magazine, the event itself is exhilarating to any robotics fan.

Grades: 5-8
Fee: $435 including competition day. Kids to be driven to Menlo Park by parents.
Blooming in Spring - Botany
Beautiful flowers are the results of sophisticated systems. As we delight in the sight of flowers, we will learn about these systems including energy cycles, hormones, symbiosis, communication and reproduction. Focusing on flowering plants, we will make our own live “medicine cabinet”, create flower-based dyes to dye fabrics, extract perfume, prepare salad using wild plants, build a terrarium and more. Not only will you find out why plants are green, you will never look at flowers the same way again!
This is an outdoor’s camp and campers will be traveling daily to different sites using MUNI. Sites include: The Botanical Gardens, Conservatory of Flowers, SFSU’s Botany Green House and private gardens in the neighborhood.
Led by Mikhail Kornievsky, a botanist at San Francisco State University.
