Get your hands messy in this real-life chemistry, genetics and biology lab! Learn techniques that forensic scientists use daily to help solve crimes.
Energy comes in many forms. Come learn about the different forms of energy (food/chemical, solar, electricity & kinetic and more) through fun, hands-on activities.
In this exciting hands-on, day camp for high schoolers, participants will be introduced to the principles of robot design through origami -- the art of paper folding -- to prototype, ideate, and get a hands-on sense of the physics of robots. Participants will learn: (1) how to use the biological world as a source of inspiration for designing robots, and how to translate those principles into a set of engineering design goals; (2) how to ideate, prototype, and synthesize robotic devices through folded mechanisms, and how force, torque, and motion can be tuned through these structures to make robots move better; (3) Coding a microcontroller to generate motion with an RC servo-motor; and (4) how to take real-world data from a foldable robot and use physical models to improve robot performance. This week-long, hands-on, project-based approach will emphasize problem identification, brainstorming, problem solving, rapid prototyping, teamwork, and communication. The camp will culminate with a final build -- that students can program to move through the environment -- along with an exposition for parents. For more info, contact danaukes@asu.edu
The Digital Culture Summer Institute is our long-standing summer program on ASU’s Tempe campus for students in 6th-12th grades to take classes in digital media, arts, and technology. Week-long, project-focused classes are taught by faculty and graduate students.
After pausing our summer kids’ camp for two years due to covid, we are excited to announce that kids camp is coming back this summer! We have missed all of our campers SO MUCH! We can’t wait to see how much they have grown! Registration will start mid-march and it will be online. So no need to come in and stand in line! We will be sending out countdown emails when it gets closer. Ages for kids camp are 5 (and entering kindergarten) to 12 years old.

Summer Experience at West is for students entering grades 9-12th in Fall 2022 will participate in unique, college- prep experiences! Participants will enjoy interactive activities that may include research, presentations, seminars, college-major explorations and panel discussions led by current ASU SPARKS students.

Summer Experience at Downtown is an interactive program that celebrates the vibrant ASU Downtown campus. Students in 9th-12th grade will explore college-readiness programming and have an opportunity to engage with successful ASU alumni and SPARKS members (current ASU students) and take part in seminars, presentations, and career and major explorations.
