The camp provides a unique opportunity for middle school students to explore emerging technologies and scientific concepts in a collaborative learning environment at a university setting.
The UIC ETL Summer Camp offers middle school students a hands-on, project-based learning experience in STEM. Participants engage with various technologies and scientific concepts, including robotics, simulations, programming, LEGO Robotics, webpage creation, animation, and multimedia creation. The camp utilizes equipment such as drones, race cars, 3D printing, Double Robotics, Ozobot, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi. Through these activities, students develop 21st-century skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. The curriculum also incorporates science projects in natural science, chemistry, physics, computer science, and engineering, providing a comprehensive introduction to STEM fields. The camp aims to nurture talent and inspire an interest in science and technology through innovative instructional methods.
Each day, campers meet at 10 AM in the Education Technology Lab, College of Education, UIC, and engage in various hands-on activities and lessons until 4 PM.
The camp is ideally suited for 8-13 year old students who are inquisitive and curious about the world around them, eager to try new things, meet new people, and use their heads and hands to solve problems.
