An introductory-level course where students will learn the basics of Python programming through fun exercises. The course also blends computer science concepts using Python. Introduces the students to a wider range of topics, including number operators, variables, errors, output, input, random numbers, conditionals, and loops Whether the students are new to programming, or have prior coding experience, we will group them based on their individual skill level. With fun guided hands-on projects, students will be able to explore the world of Python.
Each student should have access to a computer or tablet for hands-on activities.
PM - MN STEM CAMP I
Engineering is all about creating, building, and making things better! So what does it take to be an engineer? If you like math and science, you are off to a great start. If you enjoy discovering new things, solving problems, and learning how things work—even better! Creativity, persistence, and the desire to make the world a better place are also important qualities. Becoming an engineer requires hard work and a good education.
Our summer program will be a great start to your career in science and engineering.
MN STEM Summer Camp is a four-day fun-filled program designed to ignite interest in STEM. In an interactive environment, students from grades 2 to 6 obtain hands-on learning experience in science, math, technology, and engineering. Students will be placed in level-appropriate groups to enhance their experience. Using design and pattern association techniques and puzzles and games, students explore the application of math concepts. Students see math applied to real-world situations and will learn to tackle different challenges.
Each MN STEM offering will have distinct content and is geared towards providing unending fun and learning.
Week 2 (June 16 - 19)
AM - Geography Bee
The Geography Bee camp will help students prepare for competitions while also getting a broad-based education in the physical, political, economic, and cultural geography of the world we live in.
