Overview

Full-on Hands-on Science Fun!!

Microbes are tiny forms of life that surround us – too small to be seen by the naked eye. They are everywhere - in water, in the soil, and in the air, even inside our body.  Some of these tiny bugs make us sick, others are essential for our health.

For a long time, biotechnology has utilized friendly bugs in the production of foods such as cheese, sauerkraut, kimchi, coffee, sour cream, vinegar, sausage, and yogurt. Other, not-so-friendly, bugs cause cholera, typhus, leprosy, tuberculosis, and anthrax. In our Tiny-bugs, Big-Picture Science Camp Campers will learn all about microbes – the good, the bad and the ugly.  Campers will examine and investigate, both the risks and benefits of bacteria to better understand their role in disease and food production.
All experiments are designed to use child safe media.

Last day of Camp : Public Speaking instructions by partner UncoverU – each child will prepare, practice and present a topic learnt during the week of camp.

LifeTech (Bio-Science & Tech) is one of a kind program for young minds that opens doors for interesting learning experiences in life. I am glad there are options for kids outside of the conventional coding and math programs. Instructor Sudha has years of experience in the biotech and in a way she is giving back to the society by imparting her knowledge and experience to kids who aspire to be scientists or would like to learn about life-tech. Highly recommended!!!

My two girls enrolled in a week long class last year at this camp. This camp is one of a kind - I have not come across many Biotech camps in the Bay Area. The learning was very hands-on and I was very impressed with the way my girls were introduced to different concepts. The camp is educational and yet fun. Additionally, the founder Sudha, is fantastic with kids. I would highly recommend the camp for a truly unique learning opportunity!

My son 9 year old was enrolled in the LifeTechforKIDS camp. I was amazed at how much he learned in the 2 weeks he was there, ranging from using a microscope to detailed anatomy of frogs to learning about capillary action and many more. The instructors were extremely patient and clear about the material that made it fun for all age groups. I am glad we have found at least one camp that focuses on life technology instead of Legos and robots for a change.
