Our Summer STEM Camp, hosted at the University of Houston, is a two‑week immersive experience designed for students entering grades 4–6. This engaging program introduces youth to the exciting worlds of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through interactive, project-based learning.

Campers will explore coding, design, and problem-solving through a dynamic curriculum while working in small groups of about 5 students led by trained undergraduate mentors. Each day blends technology exploration with hands-on engineering challenges, encouraging students to think critically, collaborate, and build confidence as young innovators.

Because students work in collaborative teams on a culminating end-of-camp project, consistent daily attendance across the full two weeks is essential. This is a structured, multi-day experience rather than a drop-in program, and each day builds on the previous one to support both individual growth and team success.

Our program prioritizes a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where students can grow academically and socially while being inspired by positive role models.
