STEM Summer Camp registration now open!
2-day science camp for 1st, 2nd graders; 3-day robotics camps for 3rd-6th
Registration is now open for Martin County KnowHow!’s 2022 STEM Summer Camps, June 21-23 at the Southern Minnesota Educational Campus in Fairmont, for students entering grades 1 through 6 this fall.
For the younger kids going into 1st & 2nd grades, we’ll have a two-day Science Exploration Camp on the mornings of Wednesday, June 22 and Thursday, June 23. Students will get to participate in classic science experiments such as making a volcano, magnet activities, sink-or-float, and a walking science field trip. At the end of Day 2, these younger students will get to watch the older kids compete in their robotics competitions. Parents/guardians are welcome to join at the end to see what their students have accomplished at camp and watch the robotics as well.
Students entering 3rd & 4th grades will be participating in a three-day “Vex Go” Robotics Camp on the mornings of June 21, 22, and 23. These kids will work together in teams to build and learn how to operate Vex Go robots, and on Day 3 take part in cooperative competitions with their robotic creations. Parents/guardians are welcome to join at the end to check out what the students have accomplished and watch the competition.
Finally, those entering 5th & 6th grades will take part in a three-day “Vex IQ” Robotics Camp on the mornings of June 21, 22, and 23. This camp will work just like the Vex Go camp described above, but with more advanced robots to challenge these older kids’ abilities.
All camps will be held at the SMEC building at 115 S Park Street in Fairmont. Camp costs include all materials plus snacks courtesy of the Fairmont Early Risers Kiwanis. Registration for all camps is available through the Fairmont Community Education & Recreation at https://fairmont.revtrak.net/Community-Education-1002/ and is open to all students entering grades 1 through 6 across all of Martin County.
NOTE: Students can receive a 50% registration discount if their parent/guardian assists the teacher during the entirety of their child's camp. Click the CER link for details.
