STEM Summer Camps at RCTC for Students in Grades 3, 4, 5
STEM Summer Camps will inspire students by showing them real-world, problem-solving applications as well as exposing them to fascinating technologies they may not have yet encountered. STEM Summer Camps provides a week of intense investigation, creation and skill building in a fun-filled environment on the fabulous UCR Campus.
Two Camps will be offered August 2-6, 8 AM – 4 PM on the University Center Campus. Camps are limited to 60 students. $300 fee.
STEM CAMP #1 - Just like The Apprentice, you will design your own video game; work with a team to develop marketing tools including your own logo, using computer aided drafting; utilize information technology for advertising and build your own financial empire with your increased math skills. Instructors: Kari Stellpflug, Lisa Moreno, Margie Jensen, Greg Laughland
STEM CAMP #2 - Learn and apply the fascinating tools of a Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) as you become a Junior Forensic Investigator. Students will conduct experiments, map out a crime scene, gather evidence and solve the crime using your critical thinking skills. Fingerprinting, DNA analysis, re-creation of the crime scene, and the use of technology will give you the tools to solve the mystery. Instructors: Chuck Handlon, Jennifer Hennes, Lonne Senska
