Be a Chemist!

From minute atoms to massive power plants, chemistry exists in every aspect of life, even in Minecraft! By utilizing Minecraft’s Element Constructor, Compound Creator, Lab Table and Material Reducer, alongside the natural materials of the Minecraft world, we will solve problems using a step-by-step process of chemistry. Whether it be through analyzing materials or by combining compounds, camp participants will expand their knowledge of the Minecraft world and help advance it to a smarter tomorrow!

Students will roll up their sleeves and take chemistry to a lab and will use food as a medium to show chemical reactions. Once students learn the fundamentals, students will be presented with a new topic and will participate in hands-on experiments each day! Students will develop their hypotheses and experiment with various samples and work in groups and will present their data to their class, along with their original hypothesis. Some experiments will take place over multiple class sessions or may require the use of heat. At the end of the week, students will be introduced to professionals working with chemistry in their day-to-day life. They will understand how different concepts they’ve learned throughout the week can translate into a career.
