Niagara University’s College of Education, for several years, has sought to provide access to quality science, technology, engineering, and math education for children – especially girls and low-income youths, who studies show enter the STEM fields at the lowest rates.

This summer, the college’s Institute of Applied Learning will offer three summer camps intended to engage young people in the practical application of science, technology, engineering, and math. The camps are sponsored by National Grid.

The camps will focus on energy and advanced manufacturing, both in content and in college and career readiness activities. Emphasis in the Young Women’s Camp will also be placed on personal development, etiquette, and leadership.

The registration fee covers camp materials, lunch, and snacks. Transportation to NU is not provided.

Natural resources around Niagara University will be utilized as field components for students to experience inquiry-based learning and real-life applications applicable to career clusters in the energy fields.

All activities will be aligned to the New York State Learning, Common Core, College and Career Readiness Standards, and Next Generation Science standards.
