Weeklong Camps from June-August Tailored for Rising 5-8 Graders
BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Florida Tech’s summer camps are officially open for registration. Students with curious minds are invited to participate in these STEM-focused programs on campus.
STEMPower Summer Camps, hosted by Florida Tech’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Innovative Design (CAMID), are tailored for rising fifth-, sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students.
The five-day camp, with sessions in June, July, and August, will immerse students in science, technology, engineering, and math with exciting, hands-on challenges, including coding robots to complete challenges, designing video games, manufacturing basic electronic circuits, and learning about cybersecurity.
“I’m thrilled about this year’s programming because we’re introducing several exciting new activities. One of the highlights is the addition of DJI Robomaster robots, which will serve as information rovers, bringing a dynamic element to our sessions,” said Jared Campbell, STEM outreach manager at Florida Tech’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Innovative Design.
“Additionally, we’ll be diving back into the world of electronic circuit manufacturing with engaging new projects, exploring fresh cybersecurity lessons, and much more.”
The camp was developed to help young learners build strong STEM foundations. Throughout each session, they will learn from award-winning instructors who know how to make complex material both understandable and fun.
“With these enhancements, I’m confident that this year’s program will be even more captivating and enriching than last year, offering participants an unforgettable learning experience,” Campbell said.
Starting the week of June 10 and concluding the week of Aug. 5, there will be three STEMPower sessions for fifth and sixth graders and four for seventh and eighth graders. Each day will run from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
