This free, three-week program offers middle schoolers a unique opportunity to engage with university-level engineering concepts and emerging technologies through appealing, hands-on projects.
The STEM Summer Camp Experience at Thomas Jefferson University is a three-week day camp designed for students entering 6th to 9th grades. The program focuses on applying math, science, and engineering principles through hands-on experiments and projects. Participants will engage with emerging technologies such as data analytics, 3D printing, logical programming, and engineering design processes. Activities include using data science to analyze local sports team performance (Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies), designing parts with SolidWorks software for 3D printing, and performing supply chain planning exercises. The camp aims to provide a practical understanding of how engineering is applied in everyday life and to nurture the next generation of engineers.
A typical day involves hands-on experiments and projects, such as designing parts for 3D printing or analyzing sports data, with instruction from university faculty.
This camp is ideal for middle school students (grades 6-9) who are curious about how things work and are interested in exploring various STEM fields through practical, real-world applications.
