Summer Programs

STEM and Leadership Academy

STEM and Leadership Academy is our signature summer camp that takes place on the campus of Howard University. It is open to 25 middle school girls in the DMV Area. Each week, a different STEM partner hosts and provides hands-on activities including field trips for the participants. In the past, we have partnered with GE Healthcare, MTSI, SAIC and Grunley Construction. Participation is required for all four weeks and attendees may be eligible for a stipend at the end of the summer academy.

During the duration of the academy, girls have a great deal of fun participating in activities such as visiting Capitol Hill, creating lip balm and bath bombs, using fire extinguishers, deciphering codes, visiting the Air and Space Museum, driving a flight simulator, building robots and so much more!

Campers are not only exposed to STEM but they also engage in activities that help develop leadership skills, build positive friendships and promote teamwork.

 

STEM in Sports

STEM in Sports Week offers an exciting blend of athletics and academics, introducing participants to various sports while exploring the connections between science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in each activity.
Each day, campers engage in a new sport and discover the fascinating ways STEM enhances athletic performance. Topics include:

  • The role of technological advancements in improving athletes’ performance.
  • The collection and analysis of sports stats and data.
  • The physics of motion and the laws that govern movement in sports.
  • The application of angles, aerodynamics, and strategy in gameplay.

In addition to hands-on activities, participants explore STEM careers in sports, learning how they can be involved in the industry without being athletes themselves. After each lesson, girls will either try the sport themselves or attend a live game for an immersive experience.

This camp provides a dynamic educational opportunity filled with hands-on learning, active participation, and a deeper understanding of how STEM drives the world of sports.
