2022 Summer Programs
STEM: Guided Nature Walks
|
CT STEM Academy will be guiding this nature walk that may include, but is not limited to:
|
Please bring a water bottle and wear appropriate clothing and footwear for hiking on uneven terrain. Apply sunscreen and bug spray before arriving.
In case of severe weather, a makeup will be held on Thursday, June 30. |
STEM Workshops
Participants are encouraged to come to all the workshops but are welcome to just select the ones that most appeal to them or fit their schedule
|
Potato Battery
Explore electrical circuits using an unconventional conductor, which is the potato!
|
Water Bottle Toss
Test a variety of bottles by filling them with water and see which has the best success rate.
|
Fidget Spinner
Use different spinning techniques when using a fidget spinner to see how human error and other factors affects it.
|
Race Car
Create race cars using a variety of materials including straws, peppermints, K'NEX, and much more.
|
Roller Coaster
Envision and design a paper roller coaster and then test them out on a rubber track roller coaster.
|
STEM Exploration Days
|
Do you like to explore science, solve problems, and use technology? This program will feature Ozobots, Makey Makey, and Snap Circuits.
|
In our experimental design program, students will investigate with engaging hands-on challenges such as creating structures, machines, and more.
|
Ever wonder how a bird flies? Or how animals make their home? Maybe how a volcano erupts into the air? Come investigate environmental phenomena!
|
STEM: NASA Astro Camp
|
Developed with NASA based activities, this camp explores what it really means to be an astronaut and an aerospace engineer, combining science, engineering and math all in one. Students will be building, launching and exploring the various structures launched into space while thinking about the scientific factors that go into real NASA space explorations. This camp introduces children to the principles of engineering through hands-on NASA themed activities in which they will apply the engineering design process to solve problems and generate solutions. The emphasis is on students understanding that engineers must imagine and plan before they begin to create and test. Come join us for a great time!

STEM: Online Robotics Coding
|
VEXcode VR lets you code a virtual robot using a block based coding environment powered by Scratch Blocks. VEXcode VR is based on VEXcode, the same programming environment used for VEX 123, Go, IQ and V5 robots. We all know that robots make Computer Science (CS) come to life with real world applications.

Please note that this program will be 100% online. Be sure to enter the student's email address during registration so CT STEM Academy can provide the link to the class to the students.
Virtual STEM: Computer Coding, Game Design & More
|
In this class, students will explore the wonderful world of coding and video game design. Students will learn key concepts of coding on Google CS First and use Scratch Block coding platform to create their own video games. They can share their video games with friends and family and continue adding to them after the program is over. Come put your problem-solving skills to the test and show your creativity. No previous experience is required!
