Summer STEM - Virtual Camp

Summer STEM is GSSM’s premier virtual camp for rising 6^th-10^th graders. For one week, campers will learn by experience with a hands-on project. Students will interact with their peers and professor twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Students spend time offline working through their projects, while teachers are available for help sessions throughout the day. Materials needed for projects will be sent to students in a care package before camp. A wide variety of courses are offered during Summer STEM, including but are not limited to, Anatomy, Engineering Around Town, Graphic Design, and Sports Science!

GoSciTech - Residential Camp

GSSM's annual week-long residential summer camp provides a hands-on experience for science and tech enthusiasts. Courses include Anatomy & Physiology, Greatest Hits of Math, Graphic Design, Anthropology, Arduino Robotics, Astrophysics, and many more. Open to rising 8th, 9th, and 10th graders.

CREATEng - Day Camp

GSSM’s one-of-a-kind engineering and design thinking day camp for rising 7th, 8th and 9th graders. CREATEng students will interact with guest speakers and experience Engineering in Action by participating in a field trip at a local company. Learn about Robotic Rovers and Weather Satellites! Using the Destination SPACE, Inc. curriculum, you will be introduced to weather, climatology, space weather, and satellite science and engineering. You will build, test, and program mobile Robotic Rovers and Weather Stations and then analyze and report the data collected. Camp participants will also learn how they can launch the Weather Station they build on a tethered weather balloon or on a model rocket.

iTEAMS Xtreme - Day Camp

A summer day camp for 6th, 7th and 8th graders interested in computer science and technology in partner school districts across the state. Explore the world of microcontrollers, electronics and circuits through Arduino technology. In the Robotics track, learn how to program your very own microcontrolled robot and pit it against other students' robots in campwide competitions such as Maze Runner and Robot Wars. In the Game Design track, create and play 2D and 3D multiplatform games in campwide competitions. In the Smart Bots track, explore the world of Automation Technology using the mBot to solve challenges centered on the principles of automation technology in the world around us.
