This camp is for Middle school girls (Rising 5th, 6th and 7th grade students).
Location : Virtual
Our STEM Summer Camp provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) and tinkering. The goal of STEMWonders is to provide 21st century learning exposure for our participants in a fun and self-paced environment. Our STEM Sessions consist of several learning stations (with adult supervision) with session challenges. Our participants will receive ‘badges’ as they complete each challenge. Students may work in pairs, groups, or independently depending on the challenge.
Each STEM learning station will focus on the following STEM categories: • Engineering Design Challenge • Electronics and Circuitry • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning • Robotics • Programming (Scratch) • App Development (MIT) • Biotechnology • Dissection • Forensic Science • Medical Applications
Here is a description of some of our daily/ weekly sessions:
| Scratch: Digital Game Design Have fun learning how to use scratch to create interactive animations, games, music, and art and share your creations with families and friends! | Biotechnology and DNA Experience a variety of hands-on engagement that will help you understand the fascinating structure and function of DNA. | Dissection and Surgical Techniques Students will gain hands-on experiences with anatomy through the dissection of various preserved organs and organisms. You will perform simulated surgeries and learn how to suture. |
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning | Mechanical and Structural Engineering Engage in a range of incredible engineering activities. You will use simple materials to design a prototype solution to open-ended problems/challenges. | |
| Robotics Get an amazing experience by designing, building, programming, and testing LEGO-based robots (EV3 and NXT) to complete tasks and missions, while also exploring Micro:bit robotics, where students create interactive projects using sensors, coding, and simple robotic systems to solve real-world challenges. | Biotechnology and DNA Experience a variety of hands-on engagement that will help you understand the fascinating structure and function of DNA. | |
| Crime Scene and Drug Investigation You will explore the fields of forensic science with hands-on experiments! Solve the mystery by finding the culprit from given suspects in a crime scene! | Electronics and Circuitry Just like electrical engineers, you will create, test and maintain different electrical circuit systems and explore the world of Makey Makey where you can turn everyday objects into a touchpads |
Cost (Materials not included)
Each day has two sessions where participants work in virtual groups to complete session activities and projects. Participants will have time for morning snack in between the sessions.
