STEMpowered Girls and Super STEM Boys Summer Academies allow rising 6th-8th grade students the skills and concepts needed to apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. The girls and boys will problem-solve, build confidence in STEM application and STEM careers exploration. This is more than a summer camp, it’s a year-long adventure with Saturday Sparks held in October 2022 and March 2023. STEMpowered Girls and Super STEM Boy is an 8- day summer academy. Our summer academies begin on Tuesday, June 21 and runs through Thursday, June 30, 2022.

Real World Project: The Real World Project is designed to promote creativity, invention, prototype design, testing and analysis. The girls and boys will be paired in groups to invent a product to solve a Real World problem. Students will ask and explore critical questions about their problem to guide them in creating and testing prototypes to solve that problem. The students in each group will have the opportunity to present their Real World Project and prototype to the STARBASE ROBINS staff and parents on Thursday, June 30 at 1:30 PM at the Museum of Aviation in the Century of Flight Hangar building in STARBASE ROBINS Classroom Three (SB3).
