Abstract

Summer camps designed to increase interest in the computer science discipline have become increasingly popular. More recently, efforts to introduce young minds to all of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields have increased. In this paper we will discuss a summer camp that involves high school educators working with college educators to increase interest in STEM and improve critical thinking skills of rising high school students.
