Young Women's Summer Science Camp
WSU Spokane CityLab has offered Young Women's Summer Science Camps for middle school girls since 1995. Over the years, our enthusiastic and talented students explored science and math through engaging hands-on activities and projects. Working in teams, the girls solved medical and science mysteries using state-of-the art research equipment. We traveled the region to visit college campuses and experienced exciting demonstrations of chemistry, physics, forensic science, ornithology, veterineary science, enviornmental science and the health sciences (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dental hygiene, physical therapy occupational therapy, speech and hearing science, nutrition, exercise physiology). Students learned about exciting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers and the education needed to work in these fields. It has been a fun adventure over the past 17 years with many fond memories, and we now transition our efforts to bring a new program, Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Biomedical Sciences, to the greater Northwest region. You can find out more about this exciting high school program at our website: /researchoutreach/pltw/.
Please check the Mobius Science Center website for details of science camps they plan to offer during the summer months. http://science.mobiusspokane.org/
WSU Spokane CityLab will continue to offer limited workshops during the year through school contacts.
