The camp uniquely combines rigorous STEM learning with athletic activities, allowing students to experience scientific principles in action through sports and hands-on challenges.
The Rice STEM-Letics Camp offers elementary students a dynamic week of engaging with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on activities and sports. Campers participate in engineering design challenges using sustainable and recyclable materials, explore robotics, and delve into concepts like force, motion, energy, and computer science. Activities include 3D printing, coding, and space-related projects. The program integrates physical activities such as baseball, soccer, kickball, relay races, and ultimate frisbee, often connecting them to STEM principles. Students gain problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and teamwork through collaborative projects and athletic challenges. The camp aims to make STEM concepts tangible and exciting by demonstrating their real-world applications in sports and everyday life, encouraging discovery and learning from experimentation.
The day is split between indoor STEM activities, such as engineering challenges and robotics, and outdoor sports activities on the Rice football field and practice bubble, focusing on teamwork and collaboration.
This camp is ideal for elementary students entering 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade who enjoy being both mentally and physically active and are curious about how STEM concepts apply to sports and the world around them.
