The STEM Summer Camp for Future Problem Solvers is held annually at the USMSM SMART Building in St. Mary's County. The FREE camp is for high school students who are interested in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathmatics) fields of study. Students learn engineering and math skills as well as how to collaborate and work together.
Program Highlights:
- Computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D printing
- Building electronic circuits
- Human-machine interaction through coding (programming in C, Python, MIT App Inventor, ChatGPT)
- Controlling machines with microcontrollers (electronics, sensors, IoT, robotics)
- Land rover project
- Flight simulators
