Dusty's Junior University Summer Camp 2019

Crime Scene Investigators Fun Fact: the teeth are responsible for iden- tifying a crime scene over 93% of the time! Campers will attempt to solve crime mysteries. These young detectives will learn basic civic laws used in these types of cases, the type of crime-solving equipment law enforcement uses, and techniques in gathering evidence such as fingerprints, hair follicles, and DNA. CSI comes to TAMIU Junior U this summer! Session 2, Block 4 Movement to Empower! Did you know volunteering could change someone’s life? Did you know that volunteering fills empty spaces on your resume? Did you know volunteering could help you expand your network? Students will be learning about service projects that will benefit them in the future, whether it’s volunteer work or programs offered in schools. Session 1, Block 4 Young Marketers Our children can convince us to do anything… why not turn them into Young Marketers! During their time in class, campers will learn what the world of marketing consists of such as: what it is to sell a product and how to de- sign a marketing campaign. They will accom- plish these goals by engaging in tasks such as creating an email campaign, using third party templates and their own photographs. If time permits, students will also have the chance to create their own marketing videos and radio ads, in house. Session 1, Block 2 Food Science Food Science has been identified as “the application of basic sciences and engineering to study the physical, chemical and biochem- ical nature of foods and the principles of food processing. “This science class will be both fun and tasty! Campers will have the chance to see why food tastes the way it does: Why some food tastes bitter and others don’t. They will work on hands-on sensory activities as well as experiments with food. Session 3, Block 3 AutoCad Campers will learn the basics of the comput- er-aided drafting software program (Auto- CAD) to create 3D models used by engineers and architects. Such software is used in Engineering classes in High Schools and by Robotics clubs. Students will learn how to create these models, manipulate and scale the objects. No experience is necessary, only the eagerness to learn! Session 3, Block 1 Young Architects Architecture is all around us from the homes we live in to the schools we attend. Manipulat- ing a space for a specific function is extremely crucial in our society. Students will be able to further explore their skills of space manipula- tion in this class. They will study famous struc- tures and their use, design, and function within society. As the class progresses, they will be involved in designing, building, and presenting their own structures. Besides learning drawing and design, students will further develop criti- cal thinking skills. Session 4, Block 3
