Aurora and Brian’s Supercharged Summer Spy Camp is June 10-14, 2024 9am – 11:30am Pacific, on a private Zoom link. Registration is available to all Supercharged Math members.

This camp is included with your current math enrollment, but space is limited so you’ll need to register to reserve your spot. This camp is taught by both Aurora and Brian together.

Camp is taught in two sections: Aurora at 9am (Section #1: puzzles, secret codes, ciphers, and a spy project) and Brian at 10am (Section #2: spy-themed electronics circuit projects).

To participate in camp, you will need materials. When you order Brian’s Spy Camp Electronics Kit, you are also registered for the camp. (Note: you’ll also need to get a handful of items together for Aurora’s section: material list here.)

To register for this week-long summer camp with Aurora and Brian, you will need to purchase Brian’s 2024 Summer Camp Electronics Kit. All students in a household can join the camp by purchasing one electronics kit (ideally, each student should have their own kit). Registration is included with the purchase of Brian’s Spy Camp Electronics kit.

Each Spy Camp Electronics Kit provides the reusable supplies needed for one student to complete all five electronics projects. For a list of the electronic parts provided in this kit, please see the full description below. (Shipping for Brian’s Summer Camp Electronics Kit will be calculated at checkout.)

Pre-order your Spy Camp Electronics Kit early! The deadline to register and to place an order is May 19, 2024. All kits will be shipped by May 31st.

Note: Each student will also need supplies for Aurora’s projects. Aurora’s kit is now sold out, so you’ll need to order individual parts for Aurora’s projects using this material list.

Description

Brian’s Section #2 projects will be:

Day 1: Build an LED tester. We’ll learn how to control electricity by building a circuit that causes an LED to glow. (Light Emitting Diode).
Day 2: Build a door alarm. We’ll learn how to us a special magnetically controlled switch to create a door alarm.
Day 3: Build a “glowing eyes” circuit. Transistors make modern electronics possible. We’ll learn how to use a transistor to cause two glowing LED eyes to light up as a room gets darker.
Day 4: Build an LED blinker. We’ll learn how to use an integrated circuit chip to blink two LEDs back and forth.
Day 5: Build a siren. We’ll learn how to use two integrated circuit chips to generate a two-tone siren.
