Education Unlimited offers two levels of Engineering Courses:
* Intro to Engineering for rising 4th to 6th graders
* Engineering 9th - 12th for rising 9th to 12th graders
Course descriptions can be found below for both courses.
Intro to Engineering Course Description:
In Intro to Engineering, students will learn the basic principles of engineering design and use this process to solve a variety of build challenges, which must survive performance trials and unexpected obstacles along the way! Students will work collaboratively with one another and our amazing instructors to study the principles of force, energy, mass, and other fundamental properties in Newtonian physics.
Using real-world buildings and other edifices as inspiration, campers will start the week by defying gravity to build the tallest skyscrapers and strongest bridges. Then, they will move onto air resistance and density and study how different types of planes, boats, and cars operate, seeking out unique ways to build them all and optimize their designs. Students learn how engineers have to build with earth's forces in mind; from gravity, to air resistance, to friction, to buoyancy and even centripetal force, students will be learning how scientists both work against and with those forces in their designs.
As the week continues, our engineering challenges get even more elaborate! Campers will be faced with tasks that combine their knowledge of physics with ingenuity and an ability to work together within a budget! Students will learn how to use air resistance to create windmills and helicopters as well as fight against that force when they create rockets and planes. They will even learn how to keep a top spinning as they create their own toy that uses centripetal force. The camp finale will be a demonstration of campers' final invention, an egg drop - whose team will succeed and get their precious cargo to safety, and who will crack under pressure?sing real-world buildings and other edifices as inspiration, campers will start the week by defying gravity to build the tallest skyscrapers and strongest bridges.

High School Engineering Course Description
This immersive camp gives students a hands-on introduction to diverse fields of engineering, guiding them through the full design process across multiple specialties. The week begins with a human-centered design challenge - creating a functional wallet - and progresses into electrical engineering with basic circuitry involving switches and light bulbs.
Midweek, students tackle an environmental challenge by designing and building water filtration systems, followed by a biomedical engineering project where they construct a prosthetic hand and explore biomechanics. Mechanical engineering is next, with rubber band-powered car builds that emphasize force, motion, and design iteration.
The camp wraps up with an exciting Engineering Olympics - a friendly, fast-paced competition that brings together all the skills students have built throughout the week. Along the way, students practice budgeting, build bills of materials, and present their projects, gaining skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
RESPONSIBILITIES
In-person Camp Responsibilities include teaching the Education Unlimited curriculum, supervising campers both in and out of the classroom, organizing and leading classroom labs, and executing a finale showcasing student work at the end of camp. Instructors will also be responsible for tracking student work and handing in any deliverables to the camp director and EU home office.
In addition to teaching responsibilities, instructors should be available and willing to assist the camp director with active supervision, recreational activities, and some administrative tasks. Instructors should be mature, reliable, and able to work well with fellow staffers. Instructors are also expected to act as mentors and will be asked to assist with field trips and guide students on excursions. With the support of the entire staff, instructors are responsible for the health and safety of students, in addition to fulfilling instructional objectives.
At all overnight programs, instructors have the option of commuting to camp each day or staying overnight on campus. Overnight staff members will receive full room and board and will be expected to help with evening supervision duties.
Qualifications:
Instructors are usually year-round science teachers, are studying science at the graduate level, or have some other significant teaching/mentoring experience in the area of cardiology.

• 2+ years experience teaching experience or significant subject matter knowledge.
• Experience working with middle, high school or college age students in an academic setting.
• Preference given to those with an advanced degrees.
• A passion for science education.
• A calm and professional demeanor.
• Self-motivation and follow-through.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
