The UK STEM Experiences is a collaboration among the UK Colleges of Education, Engineering, and Arts & Sciences. Our goal is to expose students to a variety positive learning experiences and career options in the STEM fields. Additionally, the summer experiences:
- Target rising elementary and middle grades students (grades 5-8) especially females, students of color, and students disinterested in STEM
- Provides authentic hands-on, engaging STEM learning environments on the University of Kentucky campus
- Provides opportunities for preservice teacher and graduate students from STEM disciplines assist with camp and gain valuable content knowledge and experience in an informal low-stakes environment
- Partner with area school Youth Service Coordinators to recruit and retain underrepresented populations
- Area preservice and inservice teachers assist with the camp gaining valuable STEM laboratory experience and ideas that they can incorporate into their own classrooms
The week-long day camps are designed to help students explore and integrate the STEM disciplines through authentic hands-on projects and real world applications.
