Science and Math Education for the 21st Century QuantumCamp designs and teaches unique science and mathematics courses with the goal of creating well rounded and capable students who have the confidence to succeed in higher education. We offer courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computers, and Mathematics designed to connect students to the universe and create an appetite for learning.Our courses are held during the day, after school, and as summer camps. They are: - conceptually linked to build a sense of momentum and excitement.
- hands-on, inquiry and project based approaches that build concepts through real-world experiences.
- historically contextualized to engage the student in the moment of discovery.
The students conduct the experiments themselves and create their own books as they make their observations. Our mission: Get the next generation of young students excited about and skilled in the sciences and mathematics.

What Are People Saying?“QuantumCamp is an extraordinary experience. This is the opportunity to learn hands on and get muscle, cellular memory about the concepts in science and math. For the benefit of your children, look at QuantumCamp, invest in your child’s future, and let your child invest in their own future for learning kinesthetically, visually, auditorily—in every way possible—to make science come alive.”
Ann Salmon of Arizona, Summer 2011
QuantumCamp: The course is taught in a style that lets the students discover for themselves the astonishing properties of light, matter and energy. By providing some lecture and lots of lab time using tools from the golden age of discovery, students collaborate in small groups to gain a “hand's on” understanding of quantum physics. The love of teaching is clearly evident in the instructor who is able to masterfully keep the attention and focus of the diverse group of adolescents. Though few and far between, it was mentors and materials like this that inspired me to pursue a career in engineering, technology and research.- David Watson, Program Manager, Environmental Energy Technologies Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Winter 2011
I strongly recommend Algebra in Motion for its great presentation of concepts. It was easy because Michael smoothed the way for us but hard because he had us learn the concepts from scratch and build off of that. I took this class after taking an algebra class somewhere else that taught me how to use algebra, when to use it, but never why to use it. This class taught me how it works, when it works, and, most important, why it works. - Kyle Merritt, AiM student, Winter 2011 |
