Do you know a middle school student who likes to create, build, and find out how things work? The Oregon Coast STEM Hub has partnered with Oregon State University Precollege Programs to offer a terrific Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) camp this summer in three locations on the coast. Each FREE two-day camp will be led by college students from OSU’s Center for Outreach in Science and Engineering for Youth (COSEY). Students who will be entering 7th, 8th or 9th grade will explore careers in STEM fields through engaging hands-on activities like building catapults, creating solar cars and building wave energy devices. This is a great opportunity for participants to have fun, develop teamwork, communication, and leadership skills, and to learn from OSU mentors about what it’s like to go to college. The program runs from 9am to 4pm each day, and lunch is included.
Choose from one of three coastal locations and dates:
- June 22 and 23 in Florence, OR
- June 30 – July 1 in Bandon, OR
- July 6 and 7 in Newport, OR
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Camp flyers and links to online registration are available at http://tinyurl.com/COSEYcamps. To obtain a paper registration form, call 541-867-0329.
The Oregon Coast STEM Hub promotes integrated science, technology, engineering and math education and serves coastal teachers, students and communities.
