About this camp

Camp Mathnasium's Spaghetti Bridges STEM Camp offers students in 1st through 6th grade an engaging opportunity to explore fundamental engineering and mathematical concepts. Participants will delve into the properties of shapes, measurement facts and conversions, and scale factor through a hands-on project: designing and building bridges using spaghetti. This activity encourages teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills as students work collaboratively to construct bridges capable of holding weight. The camp aims to build math confidence and a love for learning by connecting abstract mathematical principles to real-world applications in a fun and interactive environment. Students will test their creations in a friendly competition to see which bridge can support the most weight, fostering an understanding of structural design and stability.
