POCATELLO – The Ƶ Museum of Natural History on Ƶ Pocatello campus has a full line-up of “Building Young Scientists” camps and activities this summer for K-12-grade students and will host an Ƶ Gives 24-hour fundraising event on May 3 to help fund these programs.

Building Young Scientists is a new educational initiative of the IMNH to foster curiosity in the sciences in young students. To fund “Building Young Scientists,” the museum has partnered with Ƶ Gives. Ƶ Gives, occurring on May 3, is a 24-hour online fundraising event established to celebrate the commitment of local nonprofits to make Ƶ better place to live, work, play and serve.  This year, Ƶ Gives unites donors and the IMNH in a fun and engaging initiative to support museum summer camp program. To make a donation, visit ƵGives.org, choose a charity, and donate.

A variety of camps are planned this summer.

For grades 9-12, this summer’s Dino Camp will focus on Oryctodromeus, a small, burrow-dwelling dinosaur. The camp includes three different week-long Dino Camps and one week-long field study experience. Students will sculpt the bones, pose the bones digitally and assemble the bones for mounting, creating a model Oryctodromeus for a community exhibit.  A discovery camp will take students into the field where Oryctodromeus fossils have recently been found in Southeast Ƶ. 

For grades 6-8, the excitement begins with Coding Camp/ZeroRobotics and ZeroRobotics Team.

For grades 3-6, A Trip to Mars Camp will find students planning a trip to Mars while learning about forces, rocket design, 3D design and working in an extreme environment.

For grades K-3, Building Young Scientist programs will offer day camps and half-day camps on various topics including insects, solar system, moon, wildflowers and more.
