The Daily Bruin

There’s still space in Maker Camp Week #3 for high schoolers who want to come to STEM camp!

Scheduled July 24-28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, the camp will feature “The Impossible Lock Box,” a fun and challenging project where students design a custom box and install a variety of locking mechanisms that are programmed to open with specific inputs that only the programmer knows.

Not only will students learn computer design, assembly and programming, but they will have a blast making friends and doing all the fun activities that you love about summer camp, such as water balloon games, bouldering, s’mores, late-night skits, and more!

Register today at georgefox.edu/SummerCamps. Have questions? Contact Tamara Wytsma at twytsma@georgefox.edu.

Join us in Hoover 102 today (Tuesday) at 11:30 a.m. to hear a teaching demonstration by communication’s faculty candidate, Erick Roebuck. Erick holds a PhD in communication with an emphasis in organizational communication and social movements.
