  • New UConn STEM Summer Camp

    Do you know a middle or high school girl who wants to learn how to code video games, build robots, or 3D print?

    SPARK is UConn’s latest initiative to shrink the STEM gender gap. It is a summer program that challenges current 6th - 9th grade female students to incorporate their math and science skills into hands-on projects and fun activities.

    There are four sessions:

    • July 8 - July 14: Coding in Space
    • July 15 - July 21: Underwater Robotics
    • July 22 - July 28: 3-D Printing a Better Earth
    • July 29 - August 4: Engineering Through the Ages
    Students can choose to participate in one, two, three, or all four weeks!
