Middle School students across Harlan County, mark your calendars for July 8-12 for an exciting summer camp hosted at Harlan Middle School in partnership with Rural UP.
Use the QR code to get registered today or use the link at www.ruralup.org.
We will be giving away (6) six refurbished iMac 21" iMac computers during the camp, so make sure you register early to secure your spot.
The STEM Explorer Camp is designed to ignite a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The program engages students in hands-on activities, challenges, and other interactive learning experiences. Each day, students will be introduced to a different STEM topic to explore, including cybersecurity, Al, micropipettes, circuits, and much more!
The Cyber Arcade will provide a fun and creative introduction to computer science and hands-on making for makers with little to no experience in programming and 3D design. Using a Micro:bit (a pocket-sized computer) and MakeCode, young makers practice problem-solving and teamwork to create interactive arcade games. Makers have opportunities to develop knowledge in computer science, engineering, art, and game design, as well as gain exposure to real-world industry concepts.
