A BUILDER'S DREAM

Future Stars Engineering & Design Camp invites curious minds to explore the exciting world of innovation, creativity, and real-world problem-solving. Campers become engineers and designers as they imagine, build, test, and improve their own hands-on projects.

From launching rockets to designing and racing cars, participants dive into the fundamentals of structures and mechanical engineering in a fun, engaging way. Each challenge encourages critical thinking, teamwork, and creative problem-solving.

Every week introduces new projects, friendly competitions, and collaborative design challenges, so no two sessions are ever the same. Campers are empowered to experiment, think boldly, and bring their ideas to life.

Programs take place in fully-equipped classrooms and computer labs, with all materials provided. Recreational games and water activities round out each day, creating the perfect balance of learning, creativity, and summer fun.

Carol Wilson

STEAM Education Director

Carol’s mission as an educator is to inspire her students each and every day to innovate and develop solutions to the challenges we face on a daily basis. To that end, Carol can’t wait to work with and have fun with our future scientists, engineers, coders and detectives this summer!

Carol is a distinguished educator of nearly thirty years. She has performed a variety of roles in the East Islip School District as a teacher of 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade. Most recently, Carol helped the East Islip School District to pioneer their S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) program, where she teaches students in grades 3-5 to create, design, and communicate in teams to solve everyday problems.

Carol holds an M.A. in Reading and Special Education from Dowling College, as well as a B.A. in Elementary Education and Spanish from Clemson University. She also holds an SBL degree in administration and is currently a supervisor of student teachers at St. Joseph’s University in Patchogue.

Carol was the head varsity volleyball coach at East Islip between 1994-2001, leading the Redmen to multiple Section XI playoff appearances, with teams consisting of athletes who would go on to compete at the college level in NCAA Division I and III. She was also selected in 2012 as the faculty recipient of the National Blue Ribbon Award for Timber Point Elementary School.

In her time away from school, Carol enjoys hiking, gardening, and spending time with her two sons.
