Explore the fascinating principles of optics, geometry, and perception in this interactive program that focuses on university-level physics concepts and career readiness. Students will investigate how light, angles, and spatial relationships interact to create optical illusions that challenge the way we see and interpret the world. Through guided experiments and design-based projects, participants will apply concepts from physics and mathematics to construct and analyze visual illusions, deepening their understanding of reflection, refraction, and geometric reasoning. This course integrates scientific inquiry with creative problem-solving to illuminate the connections between art, science, and the human mind.
Please note that on the final day of camp, dismissal typically occurs earlier than 4:00 p.m. Some camps may also include a closing ceremony or showcase for families on the final day. Specific dismissal times and event details will be shared with families closer to the start of camp.
