STEM Camp
Author: Heather Coleman
Planning Unit: Floyd County CES
Major Program: Science, Engineering, and Technology
Plan of Work: Youth Development
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Recent research suggests that learning science requires fluency in multiple aspects of conceptual understanding, practices of science, and identification with the scientific community. With this in mind, Floyd County 4-H hosted our first ever two-day STEM Camp with 17 youth ages 9-12 attending. Floyd County youth were able to learn how to program Pro Bots for coding, create and shoot their own straw rockets, build Snap Circuits, bristle bots, and more. As a result of STEM camp 86% of the youth increased their knowledge of SET concepts. Some of those concepts were life skill decision making through critical thinking, problem solving and scientific processing skills. These skills will not only help them in relation to STEM fields, but also allow them to make better, more analytical decisions in all aspects of their lives. Plans are ready in the works for this coming summer.
