STEM Summer Camp Experience 2025

The STEM Summer Camp Experience 2025 exposes students through hands-on experiments to how engineers apply math, science, and engineering principles to improve people’s lives. This summer day camp, taking place over 3-weeks at Jefferson’s East Falls Campus, is for 6^th-9^th grade students in the Greater Philadelphia Area.

Students will be introduced to emerging technologies in data analytics, 3D-printing, logical programming, and logistics through hands-on experiments. Using projects that are appealing to their interest, the campers will experience how engineering is applied in our everyday lives. 

Some of the projects will include:

• Using data science to analyze the performance of your local sport teams: Philadelphia Eagles and the Phillies.
• Learning to design a piece to specifications using the special software Solid Works © and producing it using 3D printing.
• Performing a 10-week supply chain planning to procure, produce, and delivery a product and its sub-components.
• Learning to write a code to obtain the batting average of your favorite Phillies player, or to which Eagles’ player has more passing yards. 

This program is free, and materials will be provided at camp. Because the camp has limited capacity, it is recommended that you submit the application as soon as possible. The program is directed by Dr. Fernando Tovia, Professor of Engineering. Please contact Fernando.Tovia@Jefferson.edu for further information. 

Campers need to:

• Be going into 6^th- 9^th grade in the upcoming 2025-2026 school year
• Submit the application form
• Submit a letter of recommendation from a math or science teacher
