From building rockets out of Pringles cans to programming the same robots used in manufacturing facilities around the world, boys and girls ages 12-16 had the opportunity to explore a variety of activities and careers related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) June 14-17 at Lakeshore Technical College (LTC).
In addition to building rockets and programming robots, the campers participated in hands-on activities involving 3D printers, catapults, coding, and process improvement. They also learned about the value of teamwork. This was the fourth year LTC has hosted Tech Camp. The educational camp is supported by a grant from Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs®, a foundation that supports individuals in discovering their interest in manufacturing and related careers.
LTC’s camp is one of 100 taking place across the U.S. this summer. Campers came from as far away as Menomonee Falls. For information on LTC’s STEM-related programs, visit gotoltc.edu/academics/degree-programs.
