Are you ready to dive into a curious and creative mind-blowing week? Do you like to conduct experiments, be challenged by math problems, explore technology and create art? Well, you will love STEAM at the Museum – a summer camp that immerses you in fun learning activities leading to designing and building an over-sized sculpture to display in the sculpture garden at The Haan Museum of Indiana Art.

Campers just like you, age 11-14, will be divided into age-similar groups staffed by professional counselors and teachers. Every day begins with morning games followed by three focused activities utilizing math, science and technology. Campers break for lunch and free game time. They then report to their afternoon art studio sessions which will culminate in creating a large sculpture for temporary display at The Haan Museum of Indiana Art. Parents, guardians, friends and family will be invited to attend the end of camp art opening.

What activities can I expect? While specific activities may change, here are some highlights to anticipate:

• Yard games challenging kids’ engineering know-how
• Architecture tour with sketching and photo activities
• Utilizing simple machines & other technologies to design functional artwork
• Indiana art scavenger hunt in the museum

All activities foster an understanding and appreciation of how interconnected science, technology, engineering, art and math are. In fact, the highlight of each camper’s week is designing a large scale sculpture which requires planning, calculations and integrating technologies. The finished sculptures will be placed in The Haan’s sculpture garden to be enjoyed by visitors to the museum as well as campers’ families and friends. Campers then take their masterpieces home!
