STEM-Letics uniquely combines interactive STEM experiences in the classroom with physical challenges on the athletic field, fostering both mental and physical engagement.
The STEM-Letics Camp at Rice University offers elementary school students a unique blend of engaging STEM learning and physical activity. Students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades explore various forms of energy, physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering through hands-on activities. The curriculum integrates classroom-based engineering challenges, often utilizing sustainable and recyclable materials, with athletic field activities. Participants will engage in STEM content such as 3D printing, coding, the engineering design process, force and motion, mathematics, robotics, and space. On the athletic side, activities may include baseball, capture the flag/flag football, kickball, relay races, soccer, and Ultimate Frisbee. The camp aims to keep students both mentally and physically active, fostering teamwork, collaboration, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills through dynamic, challenge-based learning.
A typical day is split between engineering challenges using sustainable and recyclable materials indoors at classrooms located at Rice Stadium, and sports activities focusing on teamwork and collaboration on the Rice football field and inside the Rice practice bubble.
This camp is ideal for current 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade elementary school students who enjoy being both mentally and physically active and are interested in exploring STEM concepts through interactive challenges and sports.
