Dungeons and Dragons is not just a game - there is so much more! DnD is a tabletop RPG (role playing game) that incorporates imagination, storytelling, problem solving, and action. Campers will spend the week experiencing a mini campaign of Dungeons and Dragons. Along the way they will learn to tell stories, solve problems collaboratively and create dynamic characters. They will create maps, character development and best of all, make new friends to interact with playing this strategy game!
What's inside a moving, noise making toy? Put on your safety goggles, get out the tools and let's find out! Once you have it all apart, you will rebuild it to make something new! What will your Frankenstein look like when your done? Each camper takes home their new creation at the end of the week!
This camp is hands-on experimentation that will have our campers on the edge of discovery! Learn about physics and chemistry, scientific methods all while wearing your goggles! Campers will get dirty so dress appropriately!
You've seen crime scene investigation on TV, but what is it like in the real world? Come spend a week learning forensic techniques including fingerprinting, blood pattern analysis and handwriting examination. Campers will learn the different types of information you can obtain from various pieces of evidence left behind at a crime scene. If you’re interested in forensic science, this is a camp you don’t want to miss!
During the week campers will learn about ethical hacking and penetration testing, cryptography and social engineering. All of this will be taught and tested in a secure cyber range. This is a great chance to see what all the hype is about Cyber Security and how you could make a career in this exciting field!
Join us as we learn to Communicate the Next U! High school students recognize the importance of communication in their lives but do you know how the world sees you? In this three day camp, we will be talking about the basics of communication, why it’s important, and how it can affect you and your future. Learn how to get the best you out there for the world to see. Includes social media, elevator pitch, short videos and much more.

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.

Are you interested in philosophy, politics, or social justice? Confused about the state of political dialogue? Are you struggling to balance values and respect?
ASU is hosting a Philosophy Summer Camp for high school students: The Dialectic. We will host a week-long series of workshops about how to engage the massive amount of disagreement around us, how to communicate effectively and respectfully, and how to talk to people that have radically different lives and experiences than you.
Run by a group of PhD students, The Dialectic is not a class, and we won't tell you what to think.
