About this camp

Step into a kinetic sculpture adventure at the ASU STEAM Machines™ in Motion: Kinetic Sculptures Camp, where creativity, engineering, and storytelling collide. This immersive, week-long day camp for ages 15-18 focuses on designing and building eye-catching kinetic sculptures that bring a story to life. Participants will explore gears, gadgets, and gizmos while learning the engineering design process and applying real STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) concepts to create their own steampunk automata. Guided by expert instructors, students will engage in hands-on problem-solving, focusing on mechanical movement design, electric circuits, programming, and computational thinking. The camp utilizes tools like 3D printers, laser cutters, and Arduino microcontrollers. Through teamwork, brainstorming, rapid prototyping, and creative experimentation, students will turn bold ideas into working machines and showcase their finished projects in a final exposition.
