NESA camps are known for making Hands on learning FUN! We take pride in bringing quality projects and experiments for students. Students mentored by us have consistently won science fair project awards at both HISEF and AZSEF! Students will be working on engineering projects and science experiments based on the different fun science concepts. Our instructor will be taking students through a step by step approach for building a project. In addition, students will be learning about using critical thinking skills and oratory skills while presenting their projects to their groups. This summer our theme for STEM Camp is ‘MAGIC’ of the wizards and witches. Students will learn how science is used to fly objects, electricity projects and use of Newtons Laws of Motion.

In our Minecraft movie making classes, students will write their own stories and create scenery, characters and other setting elements using Minecraft's building tool. Students will use writing tools to craft a movie script and then ultimately act it out to create a movie they can take home. They will learn creative writing and storytelling skills while conducting and applying research. Your student will love having a creative and imagination-infused learning experience and learning to work with their peers. Themes will be Super Heros, Time Traveler, Mayan Ruins.

Welcome to Woodshop 101. This weeklong camp will teach kids the basics of woodworking through the building of a candy dispenser and animal hanger figurine. The kids will be introduced to hand tools, beginning level power tools, sanding techniques and finishing choices. Come work in a 2000 sq ft workshop at Mesquite High School with Mr. Black.

Favorite Apps & Video Games: Art is all around us, including on phones and online! Every day students will learn new illustration and coloring techniques inspired by popular video games. Artwork is inspired by a pixel block characters, plants, zombies and many more classic apps and games. If your child loves to game or draw, they’ll have a blast putting their own personal touches on some of these favorites! All supplies provided.

Horses, Horses & More Horses: Horses are not only graceful and majestic animals, but they are also excellent subjects to draw and color. During our Horses, Horses, Horses! workshop, students will learn how to draw horses of all shapes, sizes, and styles. We’ll use different media to create colorful compositions which help our students strengthen their coloring skills. Challenging drawings reward our students with a greater sense of accomplishment.
