What and where is
STEM Camp?
What is its purpose?
STEM camp will focus on educational activities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; however, primary emphasis in this year’s camp will be using computers and technology while emphasizing engineering, science, and math. Both sessions will be held in the Sinton Technology Discovery Center. Sinton ISD believes students need to enter college with a background in science, technology, engineering, and math. Starting them early can help our children be successful! All activities will be fun and engaging while allowing them to think-on-their-feet!
SESSION ONE: Elementary Session: June 11-15
Creative Web Tools for Kids is designed for students entering grades 3-5 to use emerging technologies for engagement, thinking, learning, collaborating, creating, and innovating! Web tools are available for our kids to learn and use that enhance their learning and challenge them at the same time.

Our underlying goal is to demonstrate how advanced technological applications for enhancing learning can be implemented with only a computer and Internet access.
