    STEM Camp 2018 Presentations

    During the Summer of 2018, the Region One STEM Center of South Texas will host 3 STEM Coding Camps for Girls who are currently in grades 6-8 and enrolled in a Texas school. The purpose of each camp is to offer hands-on experiences that provide challenging and innovative concepts in learning, problem solving, and analytical skills while fostering an interest in computer coding/programming. Girls who attend the camp will learn how to write code and program robots, drones and computers.
