The program offers a free, hands-on experience where students apply engineering principles to engaging projects, including analyzing local sports team data and 3D printing.
The Thomas Jefferson University STEM Summer Camp Experience is a three-week day camp designed for middle school students entering 6th to 9th grade. The program focuses on how engineers apply math, science, and engineering principles to improve lives through hands-on experiments and projects. Students will explore emerging technologies in data analytics, 3D-printing, logical programming, engineering design processes, and logistics. Activities include using data science to analyze sports team performance (Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies), designing pieces with SolidWorks© software for 3D printing, and learning to write code to analyze player statistics. The camp aims to provide an engaging and practical understanding of engineering's real-world applications.
A typical day involves hands-on experiments and projects, applying math, science, and engineering principles to real-world scenarios, with activities such as designing in SolidWorks or coding.
This camp is best for middle school students entering 6th to 9th grade who are interested in discovering how things work and contributing to building a better world through engineering.
