Campers gain firsthand engineering experience through practical projects and challenges, guided by real engineers and STEM educators at a leading university.
The Jonsson STEM Stars Camp offers middle school students a hands-on, immersive experience in engineering and technology. Campers delve into digital and analog circuits, sensors, 3D design, coding, and robotics through engaging projects and team challenges. They learn to build basic circuits, program microcontrollers using an open-source electronic prototyping platform with C++ programs, and explore analog input for electronics. Activities include designing and 3D-printing smart trash cans, fostering problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills. The program aims to inspire curiosity in STEM fields and encourage students to consider future engineering careers.
A typical day involves hands-on projects, team challenges, and problem-solving activities led by mentors and engineers, with a communal lunch and snacks included.
This camp is best for curious and creative middle school students (ages 9-15) who are ready to explore the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and math.
