The purpose of the session is to share our experiences with hosting summer STEM camps. Summer camps provide a great place for students to get fully immersed in STEM in a unique way. Hosting summer camps gives the teacher a way to get their feet wet with STEM lessons while engaging the students. Teachers will walk away with ideas on how to host the camp, logistics of the camp, and actual lesson plans used.
