What is STEM Scholars?
INL’s STEM Scholars Program is a summer camp for eastern Idaho students in grades one through 12 that provides hands-on experience with a variety of STEM topics during daily in-person camps. The theme of this year’s camps is “Physics: Science Fundamentals,” which features age-appropriate research activities.
Held weekly during June and July, the summer camps are free for all participants and learning materials are provided. The camps run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., each day. Students will be dropped off and picked up at University Place in Idaho Falls.
