Edge on Science is offering a special limited edition of its in-person Catapult Engineering program, this time for Grades 4-7, at Lasell University on August 10-14. It will follow COVID-19 security guidelines and enrollment is limited. Call 315-486-2289 by midnight tonight (August 2) to register.

Edge on Science runs STEM enrichment programs throughout the year in the greater Boston area and beyond. In addition to its summer camps, this summer it’s offering parents the opportunity to gather a pod of 5 to 8 friends for a COVID-safe week of STEM learning and fun. Topics range among bridge building, catapult engineering, drones, astronomy, hydraulics, microscopes, rockets, and whales. The organizing parent gets a 50% discount and others get early-bird pricing. Call founder John Aviste at 315-486-2289 for details.

Ligerbots cAMP — the virtual summer camp created and run by the LigerBots‘ Awesome Mentoring Project — is underway and is proving to be a blast for both elementary student campers and high-school student teacher/counselors. Subjects range from core subjects and STEAM skills to dance, astronomy, and so much more. The LigerBots now seek additional high-school students as teacher/counselors for Session 4 (August 17-28). Teach a subject of your choice online. Commit to 6 hours per week during the session, plus online training to help you prepare. Gain experience teaching while building your resumé and having fun. Everything happens over Zoom. Sign up by July 19.

Tuft’s Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO) will hold several in-person, one-week workshops this summer for elementary, middle, and high school students to learn engineering from Tufts University staff and undergraduate students who are researching how best to teach engineering to K-12 students. The goal of these in-person workshops is to evoke curiosity and passion for engineering through hands-on design challenges while keeping the health and safety of students and teachers the highest priority. Refunds will be paid in the event that workshops are canceled due to revised guidance from Tufts University or the CDC. Register at these links:
