UCF is offering unique STEM Camps this summer for children to emerge themselves in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs. The University of Central Florida is dedicated to providing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related summer opportunities for area middle and high school students. More than just a summer camp, each track offers a mix of activities designed to maximize learning through hands-on, individualized instruction with outstanding instructors. Our future engineering and computer science students will love our options!
(1) CAMP CONNECT: offers broad exposure to a variety of engineering disciplines, including: electrical, industrial, mechanical, civil, environmental, aerospace, and computer science. Camp Connect immerses students in engineering integrated activities and provides tips on how to prepare for a college degree!
(2) GLAMPing (Girls Leading and Making Program) is a week-long day camp for rising 6th and 7th grade girls that is designed to promote future careers and leadership in science and engineering. The Campers, or “Glampers” will be introduced to several of our nation’s engineering ‘Grand Challenges’ (as defined by the National Science Foundation.
(3) CYBERCAMP: offered in collaboration with the Florida Cyber Alliance, focuses on teaching beginner and intermediate computer security techniques and preparation for cyber competitions to students entering grades 9-12. The computer and information security curriculum includes hands-on labs, daily challenges and an all-day culminating challenge activity that tests the students beyond a simple lesson plan!
(3) SUMMER INSTITUTES: intensive programs for gifted and high-achieving students who have interest in learning the foundations of Computer Science, Biology, Physics, or advancing skills in Competitive Programming. The programs offer a mix of activities designed to maximize learning through hands-on, individualized instruction with outstanding instructors.
