The camp provides a tuition-free, hands-on physics experience specifically designed to encourage middle and early high school students, especially girls, to pursue STEM fields, with guidance from university faculty and students.
The UT Dallas Women in Physics Camp offers middle and early high school students a science-packed week of hands-on projects and investigations into various physics topics. Campers work in small teams, guided by UTD STEM students and volunteer teachers, to explore mechanics, electromagnetism, rockets, optics, astronomy, engineering, and planetary science. Activities are designed to foster creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork, culminating in friendly competitions where students collect and analyze data. The camp aims to inspire an interest in physical sciences and STEM careers, particularly for girls who are an underrepresented population in physics. An advanced camp is available for returning campers, delving into circuits, space exploration, and upper-level physics concepts.
A typical day involves hands-on projects and experiments in small teams, guided by UTD STEM students and volunteer teachers, exploring various physics topics from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This camp is ideal for middle and early high school students, particularly girls, who have an aptitude for physical science and are interested in exploring STEM fields through hands-on activities and teamwork.
