The program offers an inclusive, integrated approach to STEM exploration with collaboration opportunities with Temple's College of Engineering mentors and exposure to a university lab environment.
The Philadelphia Youth STEM Program at Temple University's College of Engineering is a one-week experiential learning program designed for middle schoolers (rising 6th to 9th graders) interested in exploring science, technology, engineering, and math. The program aims to spark curiosity about how things work and demonstrate that learning is a lifelong journey. Participants engage in hands-on, problem-based learning experiences, contextual learning through lab tours and demonstrations, and opportunities to develop teamwork and leadership skills. Students collaborate with mentors from Temple's College of Engineering to explore the interdisciplinary nature of engineering, design thinking, and problem-solving. The curriculum incorporates topics such as climate change, energy, and water, with an emphasis on sustainable technologies. Activities may include building LEGO robots to develop engineering and problem-solving skills. The program is designed to build confidence in STEM subjects and expose students to concepts they may encounter in the upcoming academic year.
A typical day involves hands-on, problem-based learning experiences, lab tours, and demonstrations, with activities running from 9 AM to 4 PM.
This program is best for middle schoolers (rising 6th to 9th graders) who are curious about STEM and eager to explore science, technology, engineering, and math through interactive activities and real-world applications.
