Involving Girls in STEAM camp

Goal

To spark curiosity, build confidence in problem solving, foster a sense of belonging and friendship, and inspire interest in meaningful, world-changing careers.

Girls STEAM Camp is a four-day program designed for middle school students to explore science, technology, engineering, agriculture and math during the summer break from school.

Faculty and students from the College of Engineering, College of Applied Sciences and Arts, College of Science, and College of Agricultural Science will lead students through hands-on experiments, exploring the natural environment and engaging demonstrations.

The goal is to explore the world around us, to enhance confidence in problem solving, to meet new people and to spark our students' interest in important careers that can improve the world in which we live.

Sponsored by the STEM Education Research Center (SERC) in collaboration with the College of Agricultural, Life, and Physical Sciences; College of Engineering, Computing, Technology, and Mathematics; College of Liberal Arts; College of Arts and Media; College of Health and Human Sciences; School of Medicine; and School of Education.
