Science and Engineering day camp for children between the ages of 7-13. Each week long session will focus on a different topic and this year we are offering six sessions in the following areas: Robotics, Engineering, Mathematics, Space Life Sciences, Aviation Week 1 (Flying and Air Traffic Control) and Aviation Week 2 (Safety Science and Aviation Maintenance).

"Tunnel Through! Contributed by: Integrated Teaching and Learning Program, College of Engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder Photo shows two men looking at metal prongs coming through the side of a mountain with a crumbling rock pile in front of them. Workers look at the TBM cutterhead after it reached daylight in April 1997, after a 2.5-year journey excavating through Yucca Mountain, NV. TBM is a tunnel boring machine. Students apply their knowledge about mountains and rocks to transportation engineering, with the task of developing a model mountain tunnel that simulates the principles behind real-life engineering design. Student teams design and create model tunnels through a clay mountain, working within design constraints and testing for success; the tunnels must meet specific design requirements and withstand a certain load.

"Engineering for Change provides a forum to connect, collaborate, solve challenges and share knowledge among a growing community of engineers, technologists, social scientists, NGOs, local governments and community advocates, who are dedicated to improving the quality of life all over the world"

"New materials have been among the greatest achievements of every age and they have been central to the growth, prosperity, security, and quality of life of humans since the beginning of history. It is always new materials that open the door to new technologies, whether they are in civil, chemical, construction, nuclear, aeronautical, agricultural, mechanical, biomedical or electrical engineering."

"This challenge has given me practice in thinking critically and solving problems. It has given me confidence in my abilities and my work. It has given me a glimpse-my first taste-of the engineering process and has thereby strengthened my desire to pursue an engineering career."

"G.F.C Rogers, in his book "The Nature of Engineering" (1983) defines engineering as "the practice of organising the design and construction of any artifice which transforms the physical world around us to meet some recognised need.""

"Understanding the engineering process means understanding the way things work and how technology helps advance society. Leading children through engineering discoveries is to lead children through natural curiosity and learning experiences. "

"Radial engine double star with 10 cylinders and 10 longitudinal camshafts drafts to 36º.It´s made with artisanal methods.It has variable pitch propeller,works with compressed air and with only 0,2 kg/cm2.The diameter of the cylinders is 18 mm and the stroke of the pistons is 16 mm.The displacement is 40,7 cm3.Probably it´s the smallest double star engine of the world.It´s built by José Manuel Hermo Barreiro "Patelo" and dedicates to his sons.Pieces=398,Screws=289,Hours of work=1810."
