Through our Metallurgy camp, campers will have the unique opportunity to learn about the science and engineering of metals. By first exploring the metals of the periodic table, campers will begin by seeing metals at an atomic level. Through each lab, campers will expand their knowledge on just how versatile metals can be!
Campers will learn about growing metal crystals with bismuth, welding with iron, etching on copper, why alkali metals explode in water, melting and casting silver and aluminum, exploring metal embrittlement through the story of the Titanic, conducting hardness and impact testing, alloying and plating, using the electrochemical series to make batteries, and more!
This camp is perfect for anyone interested in the why behind the world! Campers will learn the intentionality of the materials they see around them every day, from big construction projects to tiny electronic chips, leaving with a newfound appreciation for the science of metallurgy and its practical applications.
