Middle School girls from throughout the region are invited to King University Monday, July 13, through Friday, July 17, to participate in interactive workshops and explore careers in the STEM fields. The camp will be held each day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is open to girls who will be entering fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades in the fall.

Action-Packed Workshops

Units in Chemistry, Engineering, Biology, Physics, Medical STEM, Nutrition, Exercise Science, and Coding/Programming are planned. Each interactive workshop will allow participants to learn more about the careers available in STEM fields and the skills needed to be successful. Group activities also are planned throughout the week.
