The University of Denver SciTech Summer Camp offers middle school students an immersive, hands-on experience in various STEM fields. Participants delve into biodiversity, ecology, computer programming, technology, physics, and astronomy. The camp emphasizes practical learning through activities such as building computers, constructing basic circuits with LED lights and Play-Doh, and assembling and using telescopes. Campers also learn about taxonomic diversity and create their own insect collections. The program aims to empower and inspire young individuals, particularly young women from underrepresented communities, by providing opportunities to develop their STEM identity and explore scientific concepts in an engaging environment. All camp materials, including a computer, telescope, and insect collection kit, are provided for campers to take home, encouraging continued exploration and learning beyond the camp duration.
A typical day involves hands-on activities such as building circuits, learning about taxonomic diversity, creating insect collections, and assembling and using telescopes.
This camp is best for middle school-aged students interested in hands-on exploration of science and technology, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds in STEM.
