Camp GPB

Fill your summer days with creativity, exploration and fun! Welcome to CAMP GPB, a series for kids that blends day camp and learning into playful fun. With the help of educators from our favorite partner organizations, as well as our own GPB "camp counselors," we are leading kids in engaging, hands-on activities. 

Use the engineering design process to investigate how to create bubbles.

This STEMonstration Is On Target!

How do engineers get their Mars rovers to go all the way into space and remotely conduct tasks? In this STEMonstration, we'll continue to investigate gravity, friction, and the physics behind launched objects, but make it a whole lot more challenging! Using simple materials, GPB educators will build and test a way to move a small ball down a zip-line string in less than four seconds AND release that ball onto a target.
