The camp offers a unique opportunity for middle schoolers to explore a wide array of emerging technologies and scientific concepts in a university setting, guided by UIC faculty and students.
The UIC Education Technology Services Summer Camp is an educational outreach program hosted by the UIC College of Education, designed to introduce students aged 8-13 to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through engaging, hands-on learning experiences. Campers will work with various technologies, including robotics, drones, 3D printing, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, LEGO Robotics, Ozobot, and telepresence robots. Activities also cover computer programming, engineering, physics, chemistry, environmental science, animation, multimedia production, web development, and simulations. The camp aims to nurture critical 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity through innovative instructional methods and project-based learning. UIC staff and student instructors lead the sessions, providing guidance through interactive demonstrations and team activities.
Each day, campers meet at 10 AM in the Education Technology Lab and engage in hands-on activities and lessons until 4 PM, exploring various STEM topics and technologies.
This camp is ideal for students aged 8-13 who are curious about STEM fields and enjoy hands-on projects and collaborative learning.
