The camp features an innovative curriculum with lessons and projects designed exclusively for YMCA campers and is led by certified Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) teachers.
Campers at the YMCA of the Triangle STEM Camp engage in hands-on projects that apply mathematical and engineering principles. They design and build model roller coasters, exploring concepts of motion, angles, ramps, gravity, and momentum. Participants also construct solar-powered cars and fans, delving into energy and solar power. The curriculum encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork through engaging challenges and real-world concepts. Through experimentation and building, children gain confidence and develop skills in scientific inquiry and engineering design. The camp aims to spark curiosity and keep kids active and collaborative while learning, with activities designed by certified educators.
Each day blends learning, creativity, and fun, with campers dedicating their time to program-specific activities from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rather than traditional camp activities like swimming.
This camp is ideal for future engineers, scientists, and problem-solvers who love to build, experiment, and explore.
