The iSTEAM from Fables (ages 4-6) – Coded Minds
Fables are full of lessons but did you know there is a lot of iSTEAM (Innovation, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts,
and Mathematics) in them too? Join us in this camp that merges classic fables with modern education. Students will read a
fable per day, understand the take home message and develop one project based on the fable using iSTEAM. Technology
use will include Ozobots, Scratch Jr, MakeyMakey and Lego Educational.

depend on the children's interest and skills. Loops, variables, conditional statements and user interface commands, and
more will, will be taught. Technology use will include Scratch coding and MakeyMakey.
STS Summer Camps 2022 7Introduction to Roblox Coding & 3D Design (ages 9-10) – Coded Minds Roblox is currently one of the most played games by children. Its complexity comes from the highly customizable engine, allowing children to create virtually anything they want! This introductory camp aims to teach the basics of Roblox, from playing the game to 3D designing along with the basics of Roblox coding. Minecraft Educational Mastery (ages 11-14) – Coded Minds Minecraft Education is a powerful tool to merge educational concepts while playing a fun game. This camp will teach children several aspects of Minecraft world creation, using tools such as design thinking, block coding and resource use. The goal is to use design thinking to plan children's world creation, while integrating block coding with a minimum of 1 project a day. The complexity of projects will vary depending on the children's skills in Minecraft. The Alberta Education curriculum will be integrated where possible. High Performance Golf Camp (ages 12-17) – Pivot Pointe This half-day high performance golf program (12:45 to 3:45 pm) is designed for campers between the ages of 12 and 17. The staff is on hand to provide campers with top quality instruction each day. This golf camp is for students who already have golf experience and is designed with a high-performance focus in mind. We can accommodate the middle and high school player trying to move up on the team, and the tournament level junior looking to improve his or her tournament results. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. Step into the adventure at Blue Devil Golf Course! Hidden away in the secluded Chaparral Valley, 15 minutes from the Strathcona-Tweedsmuir campus, we offer the convenience of an urban location surrounded in natural beauty. All students will have access to the TaylorMade Performance Centre and have access to equipment for those that do not have equipment to use. Each student will have access to the Lil’Devil Golf Course to take what they learned and apply it to the golf course each day after instruction.

Road to Research (R2R) Camp (ages 14-17) – STS
The STS Road to Research (R2R) is the first program of its kind in Alberta education’s curriculum, providing high-
school students a platform to broaden their academic knowledge and get ahead of the curve. R2R will help students gain an
in-depth understanding behind research, theory of knowledge, general sciences and technology. Creating and executing
their own research studies, students will gain first-hand research experience and be introduced to the vast career
opportunities within and outside of research.
The R2R offers students a research certificate and can develop the skills that may also support the completion of IB
program components. Within this unique program, students will develop the necessary skillsets to pursue laboratory work
experience while in high-school and through university. With the one-week program, students will learn the basic
principles of research, how and where to collect information and data, and ethical and confidentiality of research and that
may also be linked to the field of medicine. Participating students can choose their research study from the list of project
ideas provided or create their own. Students in the IB Programme have the option to get a head start on their upcoming
requirements. In addition to learning the basic principles of research, students may apply some of this knowledge and
understanding to their Grade 10 Personal Project, Extended Essay, and/or Internal Assessment task.
Catering to their academic and vocational interests, this program will help prepare students for their future research
endeavours. Critical thinking, collaboration, and scientific writing skillsets will be further developed while students execute
research projects within and outside the academic curriculum. R2R will help students stand out amongst their peers.
Interested in working in a research lab at university or pursuing a graduate degree? R2R will help you get started.
Road to Research Perks:
⇒ Participate in Alberta’s first and only internal high-school research program
⇒ Design and conduct your own research projects
