This free, intensive four-day camp provides hands-on physics experiences and career exposure specifically for middle and high school girls, fostering their interest in STEM fields.
The Physics Wonder Girls Camp is a free, four-day STEM program at Saint Joseph's University designed to inspire middle school and select high school girls in physics. Participants engage in hands-on experiments and projects focusing on solar and renewable energies, the science of food, and quantum science. Activities include building solar-powered cars, fidget spinners, and cookers, as well as experimenting with light and new materials. The camp also features career talks from accomplished women scientists and engineers, lab tours, and industrial plant trips. Students gain practical skills in scientific inquiry, problem-solving, and collaboration, culminating in a capstone presentation of their favorite energy projects to an audience of family and friends.
A typical day involves hands-on physics experiments and projects, career talks from women scientists, and potentially lab or industrial plant tours.
This camp is ideal for rising 8th and 9th-grade girls, and select high school students, who are nominated by their science teachers for their aptitude and interest in STEM.
