Registration Open for Washtenaw Community College’s Summer STEM Youth Camps
ANN ARBOR, MI – Washtenaw Community College (WCC) is offering a series of engaging STEM-focused camps for youth this summer, with registration currently open. These week-long camps are designed to provide a stimulating educational experience for students aged 9 to 18, fostering their interests in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on learning and expert instruction.
Camps will run from July 7 to August, hosted at the WCC campus located at 4800 E. Huron River Drive, Ann Arbor. Each camp presents a distinct theme related to various STEM disciplines, encouraging participants to explore interests such as coding, space exploration, healthcare, and engineering.
The intention behind these camps is not only to educate but also to inspire the next generation of innovators, engineers, and technologists. Experienced instructors from relevant organizations lead the sessions, ensuring a rich learning environment. A notable collaboration includes a space exploration camp developed in partnership with Mad Science Detroit and NASA, emphasizing practical applications of knowledge in exciting fields.
In addition to STEM offerings, WCC also features non-STEM camps focusing on essential child-care skills, theater arts, and zine publishing. This diverse range of topics aims to cater to the varied interests of young learners, ensuring that they can explore beyond traditional educational formats.
Families residing in Ypsilanti, specifically those in zip codes 48197 and 48198, have the opportunity to apply for scholarships, allowing them to attend one full-day camp or two half-day camps at no cost. This initiative aims to foster inclusivity and ensure that financial barriers do not hinder access to educational opportunities.
