The Office of Secondary Schools is partnering with UCSD Extension to offer the 4th installment of the Summer STEM Pathways Camp (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) at University of California San Diego, July 31 – August 3, 2018. It is our intent to provide a rich hands on experience, while opening up the world of STEM careers, in an elite college setting. We hope that participants leave this program inspired to strive for excellence in all areas (social and academic), continue their education beyond high school and pursue STEM related career opportunities. The Summer STEM Pathway camp is a free, four day experience for 50 San Diego Unified College Career Technical Education students on the UCSD campus. Bussing will be provided to UCSD and back daily from targeted high schools according to needs identified through student application. Parents can also drop off students daily at UCSD. The drop off location will be shared upon acceptance. All meals and snacks are provided for the entire camp. The camp consists of 4 modules designed and delivered by UCSD professors that focus on Biological Science, Bioengineering, Computer Science, and Electrical / Computer Engineering. There will be an opportunity August 3rd for parents to attend a closing ceremony where you will see what your students have done during the camp.
Because spots are extremely limited we expect high interest, we suggest your students obtain a teacher recommendation from a STEM teacher or teachers, and apply as soon as possible.
Students should:
- have > than 2.0 GPA
- be enrolled in a Health, BioMed, Engineering, computer science or ICT career themed pathway
- have a high interest in STEM fields, and
- commit to attend the camp in its entirety
