Final spots available for UK’s STEM Camps for middle and high school students

Spots remain for students to register for the University of Kentucky’s STEM Camps.

Incoming 9th-12th grade students can enroll in Computer Science camp (June 8-12) and Chem Camp (June 22-26). A few spots are also available for middle school students (rising 5th - 8th grade) to participate in STEM Camp (June 22-26). All spots for elementary students are filled. 

• Chem Camp immerses students in investigative lab experiences designed to extend the high school chemistry experience while introducing participants to the laboratories and research environments on UK’s campus. No prior chemistry experience is necessary.  

• Computer Science Camp gives students the opportunity to program multiple types of sensors and develop condition loop sequences through engaging, hands-on challenges. The camp activities are designed to be appropriately challenging while remaining accessible to beginners, and no advanced programming experience is required.  

• STEM Camp for middle school students (rising 5th - 8th grade) has a few spots available during the week of June 22-26. In this camp, students engage in robotics for half of the day and learn from STEM experts on various topics (e.g. neurology, ecosystems, physics) the other half of the day.  

Through UK STEM Camps, students in grades 2-12 have an early opportunity to picture themselves on a college campus while building confidence in their abilities to use STEM in future careers and everyday life.

The camps’ hands-on experiments and engaging activities are a collaboration among UK's College of Education, Stanley and Karen Pigman College of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences and College of Medicine. Founded in 2010, the camps introduce students to the many possibilities within STEM fields.
