The purpose of STEM Kids is to stimulate children’s interest in STEM through exploration of topics not usually covered in their regular school classes.
More than 500 kids in grades K-8 spent hours learning about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) as part of the 2024 STEM Kids Camp sponsored by the College of Engineering.
This year featured more than 20 hands-on learning camps covering everything from computer coding, robotics and crime scene science to video game design, building roller coasters and entrepreneurship.

"Teaching STEM Kids is such a rewarding experience,” said Angela Gross, College of Engineering Outreach Coordinator. “During STEM Kids, our instructors are able to share knowledge and passion with curious minds that are just starting out in science and engineering. These kids are so eager to learn, and their energy and enthusiasm is inspiring."
STEM Kids Camp offers two weeks of morning and afternoon classes for students in grades K-8. Registration opens in the spring. The College of Engineering also offers an Exploring Engineering High School Camp and dozens of other hands-on STEM events throughout the year.
