Science and Engineering Exploration Camps Planned for June and July

Starting Thursday, June 20, ISU faculty and staff will host over a dozen Science and Engineering Exploration Camps. Kicking off with Steve Shropshire, professor of physics, explaining the science of electromagnetism, the free camps aim to show what students can achieve in the science and engineering fields through hands-on activities. Currently planned activities include building robots, experiencing virtual reality, modeling volcanic eruptions, learning about the native fish in the Portneuf River, and more.       

“We invite youth to unleash their curiosity, ignite their imagination, and explore some of the endless possibilities of science, technology, engineering, and math at one of the Science and Engineering Exploration Camps,” said Farjana Eishita, assistant professor of computer science at Idaho State University. “The activities are a fantastic way to introduce young scientists and engineers to the hands-on work they do in these fields.”   

A list of free activities and more information can be found at isu.edu/cose/seecamps. 

The Science and Engineering Exploration Camps are made possible through a NASA Idaho Space Grant Consortium grant.
