Materials Camp
For high school students
Materials Camp is a week-long opportunity to learn about materials science using a range of equipment and skills. Students will gain hands-on learning experiences in applied math and science while participating in a truly unique, team-based problem solving experience that explores materials science and engineering principles.
STEMology Camp
For rising 3rd–6th graders
STEMology camp introduces rising 3rd-6th graders to STEM through exploration and education. Students will learn about STEM topics through hands-on interactions with staff and students while gaining important skills such as public-speaking, teamwork, and problem-solving.
Summer Algebra Enrichment Program
For 8th–11th graders
This program will combine remediative sessions in Algebra I with on-campus experiences to give students the opportunity to experience STEM in a whole new way. A typical daily schedule will include Algebra instruction in the morning with college and career sessions, mentoring from college students, and STEM activities in the afternoon.
