PracticesInformal STEM EducationPromoting engineering and STEM through summer camps is a well-developed practice. Theliterature outlines several best approaches to effectively implement learning into camps. Workingwith hands-on activities increases interest in engineering while allowing students to practiceproblem solving and designing their own solutions to a problem [9 -11]. Such activities reinforceteamwork and communication skills as students collaborate in groups to develop solutions andexplain their ideas [11]. While using hands-on projects are common practice, they often lack amathematical component, which gives a less than accurate representation of college engineeringprograms [10].
