Previous Bartow County STEM Camps
Check back in February/March for our next summer STEM Camp adventure!
Summer 2024: Voyager STEM Camp
This summer's highlights included expanding camp to be all day and getting to use a wide variety of tools while taking a voyage into space! Students explored drones, rockets, snap circuits, virtual reality, game design, LEGO Robotics, the STAR Lab, RVR robots, and a make and take rover.
Summer 2023: STEM Survivor
STEM Survivor Camp found students creating in unique ways to explore ways to survive disasters!
- Students used math skills (measurement and geometry) to plan and build a cardboard house to withstand a tornado.
- Small groups worked together to research different types of disasters and learn about stop motion animation. The groups created animated videos to depict the disaster and its aftermath.
- Students found creative ways to code Sphero robots through an obstacle course of natural disasters. Iteration and perseverance were the key to success!
Summer 2022: STEMAZING Race
Students in grades 4 through 7 worked in small groups to solve team STEM challenges across the globe. Standards focused on world geography, science, math, computer science, and engineering.
Some of the highlights included:
