STEM Holiday/Summer Camp

Provided By

STEM Global Action and STEM NOLA Summer camps will service 25-30 students highlighting the advancements in Artificial Intelligence. Using tools such as Google’s Teachable Machine, students will train their own Machine Learning models and deploy them in their own applications. The students will walk away with access to their very own AI powered applications. Participants will also learn what Archimedes’ Principle is and why things float. Kids will also get hands-on with the environment and how to make things grow and keep the earth green. They will also get hands-on with reactions by creating chemical reactions and learning the difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions. Participants will dive into learning about sound, how sound travels, what frequency and pitch mean and how it affects sound. They will explore properties of the human anatomy like the heart, lungs, and circulatory system. They will also be able to connect how human anatomy compares to present-day technology. Participants will learn more about how electricity flows and connect how circuits are used in everyday life through robotics and technology. They will go through multiple hands-on activities that will apply to the week’s topic and use what they learn to make real-life applications.
