The camp is run entirely by University of Denver faculty and provides a unique, free-of-charge experience for students who might not otherwise have access to such STEM opportunities due to financial constraints.
The DU SciTech Summer Camp offers middle school students a unique, hands-on experience in various STEM fields. Participants will engage in activities such as building computers, learning computer programming, and exploring biodiversity, ecology, physics, and astronomy. The camp emphasizes practical learning through projects like constructing basic circuits with LED lights and Play-Doh, creating professional insect collections, and assembling and using telescopes. The program aims to foster scientific curiosity and self-efficacy, particularly among young women from underrepresented communities, by providing opportunities to engage directly with scientific concepts and tools. Campers will gain foundational knowledge and practical skills in scientific inquiry and technological application.
Each day includes dynamic lessons, creative activities, and collaboration with peers, with students diving into core STEM ideas.
This program is ideal for middle school students interested in hands-on exploration of science and technology, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds in STEM.
