Pre-Engineering Program: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)

Abstract

Invent Now, a nonprofit organization, planned and implemented the Camp Invention project in Champaign-Urbana with the support of ERDC - Construction Engineering Research Laboratory. The project was focused on underserved children in grades 1-6 who need, but have limited access to, out-of-school time STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) enrichment opportunities. Two one-week programs were implemented during the weeks of June 17 and July 8 at Orpheum Children's Science Museum at Booker T. Washington STEM Academy. The project impacted 115 children and provided professional development for the project's educators in the Urbana-Champaign area.
