STEM Demonstrations

The Center for Energy Research team at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas has created solar-based kits designed to teach students about engineering, solar energy, and science. Our team would like to provide your students with the opportunity to use these educational kits and learn about the different ways that solar energy can be used.

We have a simple Fan & Light Kit designed to power fans and lightbulbs with a photovoltaic panel, a student-assembled Off-Grid Kit designed to power a battery that in return can power anything with a plug or USB, a student-assembled Water Heater Kit designed to heat up water through solar thermal energy, and a solar cell audio kit to learn the concepts of making circuits, converting light waves to electric waves and sound waves. This kit will show the students how sound is created and magnified by converting electric energy to light energy and then to sound waves.

Tech Trekker at UNLV

Our primary mission is to increase student exposure to and engagement in modern science and engineering tools in order to encourage students into high-demand STEM fields. Teachers can request equipment and Tech Trekker staff to visit their school up to three times per year. A wide range of science and engineering equipment is available, and teachers can choose to use the standards-aligned lessons associated with the equipment or come up with their own ideas to integrate the equipment into their classroom lesson. Tech Trekker is a free program for K-12 schools in the Las Vegas Valley.

Roger D. Gehring Academy of Science and Technology Magnet School

At Roger D. Gehring Academy of Science and Technology, students participate in interdisciplinary, hands-on projects which incorporate standards-based learning in the school created community gardens, tortoise habitat, biomedical science and engineering labs, and technology and media rooms.

Using the renowned Project Lead The Way Launch curriculum, we provide students with unique opportunities to work collaboratively, identify problems, apply what they know, persevere through challenges, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning.

Our school offers before school clubs such as; Coding, Robotics, Math, Choir, Art, and JAWS. In addition, we have recess-time clubs in Athletics, Art, Music, and Library activities. Our instructional day includes an additional 19 minutes beyond the traditional CCSD instructional day.

Engineering for Kids Camps & Classes

Engineering for Kids brings the excitement of STEM education to children, through hands-on experiments. Our camps, for ages 4 through 14, nurture students’ natural curiosity by guiding them in experiments that will show them the real-world relevance of the theory they learned in school.
Our campers are divided into three age groups with age appropriate curriculum. (Grades K-1, Grades 2-5 and Grades 6-8)
Here are some of our current offerings:
3D Printing & CAD, VEX Robotics, Lego EV3 Robotics, Coding, Minecraft & Roblox Moding, Hands-on Engineering, Video Game Design and much more!

UNLV Independent Summer Research Studies

UNLV Independent Studies are an opportunity for advanced students in the College of Science to explore their desired major. Independent study courses vary among departments within the College of Science. It is strongly advised that students interested in this program seek input from an advisor, the department or school chair and/or the College of Sciences Advising Center.

Kermit R. Booker Senior Innovative Elementary School

Located in Las Vegas for over 60 years Kermit R. Booker Sr. Innovative Elementary School is deeply rooted and tied to the Las Vegas Community. Kermit Booker is a Victory School, with curriculum based on S.T.E.A.M. We inspire, challenge, and engage the minds of the future through innovation, collaboration, and recognition.

Summer Research EXperience (REX)

The Summer Research EXperience is a six-week long research program offered for High School and Community College students. We aim to provide an introductory STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) research experience to students who have no formal research training beyond high school courses. The program lasts from June 26 to August 4. Students must be 18 years or older and they receive a stipend of $1200.
