The camp provides hands-on, project-based learning with a wide array of emerging technologies and scientific concepts, led by UIC faculty, staff, and student instructors.
The UIC College of Education ETL STEM Camp offers students hands-on, project-based learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Participants engage with various computer and technology equipment, including drones, robotics (LEGO, Double Robotics, Ozobot), 3D printers, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi. The curriculum covers natural science, chemistry, physics, computer science, and engineering through activities like simulations, programming, webpage creation, animation, and multimedia creation. Students develop 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity by working on team-based projects and exploring emerging technologies. Past projects have included designing water filters, making soil blocks, and working with worms to understand ecosystems. The camp aims to nurture young talent and provide an engaging environment for exploring STEM fields.
