The camp uniquely combines intensive STEM exploration with physical activity and sports, fostering both mental and physical development in a university setting.
The Rice University STEM-Letics Camp is a week-long day camp designed for current 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade elementary school students. It aims to keep students both mentally and physically active during the summer by combining STEM learning with physical activities. Students engage in hands-on activities in the classroom and on the playing field, exploring various forms of energy, physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. The camp curriculum includes engineering design challenges using sustainable and recyclable materials, alongside sports activities that emphasize teamwork and collaboration. Activities take place indoors at classrooms in Rice Stadium and outdoors on the Rice football field and inside the Rice practice bubble. The program focuses on developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills through interactive STEM experiences and athletic engagement.
A typical day is split between indoor engineering challenges using sustainable materials and outdoor sports activities focusing on teamwork and collaboration.
This camp is ideal for elementary school students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade who want to stay mentally and physically active while exploring STEM concepts through hands-on activities and sports.
