The Sky’s the Limit STEM Camp ’22 in Beloit

Free STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) camp for middle and high school-aged youth with autism

The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Nelson Institute Center for Climatic Research is hosting The Sky’s the Limit STEM Camp every Friday from June 10 to July 29.

The camp will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Welty Environmental Center, 1201 Big Hill Court, in Beloit, Wis.

The goal of The Sky’s the Limit STEM Camp is to broaden science opportunities for autistic youth by providing a summer camp that supports inquisitiveness in a non-threatening, non-traditional and inclusive learning environment.

The camp will embrace neurodivergence and the associated unique thinking and learning of youth with autism through flexible teaching strategies.

Attendees will participate in hands-on outdoor and indoor activities, such as learning to fly a drone, steering a remote-controlled TerraRover car, collecting soil and water samples, and hiking through beautiful landscapes. See the complete schedule of activities online.

The camp aims to encourage the pursuit of STEM degrees and careers.

Register online. The camp is free but registration is required by May 27.
