Camp Invention at Thomas O’Roarke Elementary School

Created by the National Inventors Hall of Fame, Camp Invention is the only nationally recognized summer program focused on creativity, innovation, real-world problem solving and the spirit of invention. Our unrivaled program presents essential STEM concepts through the most creative hands-on activities. By combining learning and fun, we satisfy parents, educators and children, earning an approval rating of more than 90%. Our summer enrichment day experience is designed for children entering grades one through six. Free to schools and organizations that host our program nationwide, Camp Invention features collaborative learning opportunities led by local teachers in a safe environment. Year after year, we offer innovative curricula that align with state and national education standards and meet our own rigorous testing requirements. We strive to enhance each child’s ability to learn through teamwork and subject immersion while providing exciting challenges and cultivating a new appreciation for discovery.

Las Vegas Summer Robotics Camp

Vex Robotics are available to campers through grades 5th – 8th. We use the Vex Robotics system to show campers the three main components of engineering and robotics. Design, Building, and Programming. These three components are taught over the 5 day period of the camp by experienced mentors that are provided to each team. Vex Robotics uses a metal based system that is easy to put together and manipulate into different parts for the campers robot. This system runs off of a program that lets campers control the robot with a controller. Vex Robotics is the highest system offered to our campers.

Introduce a Girl to Engineering: UNR

For Young Women Only! An introduction to engineering including lessons, hands-on activities, and mentoring from professional female engineers, university faculty, alumni, and current engineering students.

Introduction to Engineering Summer Camp at UNR

This camp introduces students to the various engineering disciplines through fun, age-appropriate activities such as building bottle rockets, designing concrete canoes and learning about digital gaming. Field trips and campus tours introduce students to some of Northern Nevada’s engineering landmarks. Camp sessions are led by university faculty and graduate students.

Pathways to Science

PathwaysToScience.org offers a search portal of over 1,500 STEM programs across the United States for students from high school through the graduate level. An online resource library provides students with professional development resources designed to assist students in finding and applying to programs. Resources for faculty focus on tools and strategies for increasing minority participation in the sciences. PathwaysToScience.org is a project of the Institute for Broadening Participation (IBP). IBP’s mission is to increase diversity in the STEM fields.

The STEM Academy at Galena High School

The STEM Academy at Galena High School encompasses fields of study in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Students are enrolled in a 4-year course sequence that follows a nationally-recognized curriculum, providing them with challenging activity-, project-, problem-based learning with meaningful assessments. The sequence includes two foundation courses designed for 9th-10th graders, followed by a core specialization course (e.g. Civil Engineering and Architecture, Computer Integrated Manufacturing), and ends with a capstone course whereby students work in teams to design and develop an original solution to a valid open-ended technical problem by applying the engineering design process.

Southern Highlands Preparatory School

Students at Southern Highlands Preparatory School will experience STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education through projects that combine scientific and mathematical analysis with the design process of technology and engineering. Challenging and fun projects encourage collaboration, problem-solving, decision making, creativity and innovation. Students work together to solve real problems, while developing a love of math and science

Coral Academy of Science, Las Vegas

The mission of CASLV is to provide a safe, rigorous college preparatory environment that promotes social responsibility and a culturally diverse community dedicated to becoming lifelong learners bound for success. We have participated in many academic competitions over the past four years and our students have won several awards at these STEM competitions, such as Science Olympiads, Science Fairs, statewide Science Bowls, Math Counts competitions, and Lego Robotics competitions.

Nevada Virtual Charter School

Nevada Virtual Charter School uses a robust curriculum to offer Nevada students in 6th through 12th grade an exceptional education. With individualized learning approaches, Nevada Virtual Charter School provides the tools students need to succeed in school and beyond, including a STEM focus to meet the needs of Nevada’s job market.
