The camp uniquely combines STEM education with a '5 Karat Curriculum' focusing on academics, leadership, service, career, and creativity, specifically empowering minority middle school girls.
The TSU GEM Summer Camp is a residential STEM program designed to empower middle school girls through hands-on, project-based learning. Participants engage in a 5 Karat system focusing on academics, leadership, service, career, and creativity. The camp aims to close the gender and racial gap in STEM fields by introducing girls to various STEM concepts and career paths. Activities include math and science coursework, working with mentors to develop self-confidence and conflict resolution skills, and hearing from women thriving in STEM careers. Campers also participate in community service projects and conclude the week with a showcase of their capstone projects.
A typical day involves two hours of problem-based academic learning, 30 minutes with women in STEM careers, 1.5 hours of hands-on creative tasks, one hour in small group leadership activities, and one hour dedicated to organizing community service.
This camp is best for rising 7th-9th grade girls interested in exploring STEM fields, building confidence, and developing leadership skills in a supportive, interactive environment.
