During the Outdoor World summer camp, Dr. Joel Burken, Curators’ Professor, helps campers collect a water sample at Schuman Park.

There’s still time to register your student for S&T summer camps, where sustainability and hands-on learning take center stage.

Campers will dive into topics like ecosystems, sustainable city design and responsible use of Earth’s resources. Through interactive projects and activities, students will explore innovative solutions for a more sustainable future – all while experiencing life at S&T.

Participants will have the chance to:

  • Explore cutting-edge STEM fields
  • Build, experiment and problem-solve
  • Learn from S&T faculty and researchers.

“Our camps are designed to inspire, educate and inform about science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, but they are also tons of fun,” says Courtney Jones, director of the Kummer Center for STEM Education. “Depending on the camp, campers might learn how to mine Missouri resources sustainably or explore Ozarks flora and fauna. When camp ends, we want every camper to have a better idea of what STEM is and to be aware of the academic and career opportunities in STEM-related fields.”
