Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) College of Basic & Applied Sciences is offering a one-week summer STEM camp for high school students entering the 9th through 12th grade for the 2023/24 academic school year.

The in-person camp will run the week of June 19th through the 23rd 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, CST. Monday through Wednesday, attendees will select an activity each day limited to 15 students on a first come, first serve basis. Thursday is a field trip day where students will be transported to the Murfreesboro Airport to visit our Aerospace Department and the Creamery part of our Agriculture Department, where we make our delicious chocolate milk. Finally, on Friday, students will present their learned findings in a 5-minute group presentation. Activities are fun, hands-on, and age-appropriate.

Early bird registration starts March 15th at $200, and this special lasts until April 15th, when the price rises to $250, so hurry to register. Registration closes May 15th. No refunds after registration closing. To register keep scrolling down. To view flyer, click.

Which science are you most interested in participating in? (See options below and choose your top 4)

Preferences are on a first come first serve basis. Slots fill up fast so you are not guaranteed to get into your preferred science.

Department: Mathematics Activity Title: Reading the world using mathematics Description: How do mathematicians approach problem-solving? How does mathematical problem-solving appear in other careers? In this session, we will explore mathematical problem-solving, data-driven critical thinking, and how mathematics can be used to read and understand the world around us. We will also explore a variety of careers that use mathematics, and we will attempt to stump language-simulation AI models with math!

Department: Physics and Astronomy Activity Title: Quantum Quest: Exploring the Frontiers of Quantum Computing Description: Students will be introduced to the basic concepts of quantum world, including hands-on experience with quantum matter and quantum computing. Students will also learn the fundamentals of quantum computing, including qubits and quantum algorithms. They will have hands-on experience building and running quantum circuits using IBM quantum computer simulators. Finally, students will learn about the various career paths in quantum computing and receive advice on how to prepare for a career in this exciting and rapidly growing field.

Department: Biology Activity Title: Going with the flow Description: Get to know your local fishes and find out how they have adapted to live in different habitats. Join the resident ichthyologists for a morning of field biology collecting fishes (using electricity!) in local streams. Splash zone alert, you may get wet! Afterwards we will head back to the lab for a hands-on activity leaning about how fish shape helps them swim. Our day will end with a special creative activity with a take home souvenir.

Department: MTEACH Activity Title: Learning in STEM Description: Have you thought about what it’s like to lead your own class? Join MTeach for fun activities for science, math, and agriculture classrooms! Find out how STEM teachers can make learning fun and engaging! While participating in a model STEM lesson, you will learn how teachers use hands-on learning and questioning techniques to guide student learning. These skills are applicable both in and out of the classroom.

Department: ET Activity Title: Programmable logic Controllers, Robotics, and EVP (Mini-Baja, Moon buggy test track) Activity: Our main activity will be in Vision Systems training

Department: Chemistry Activity Title: The Science of Sustenance: Exploring the Chemistry of Food Description: This group of activities explores the chemistry of food through various experiments. Through these hands-on activities, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the complex science that goes into the food we eat every day.

Do you have a friend who is also registering for camp that you would like to be in a group with?

If none answer N/A. Friends' first and last names. Up to three friends. Groups preference are on a first come first serve basis. We cannot guarantee you will be put in a group with your friends. This is dependent on group size and room.

What science classes have you taken?

High school or college level classes only.

What high school will you attend next academic year?

Student's high school.
