GLAMPing (Girls Leading and Making Program) offers incoming 6th and 7th grade students the opportunity to engage in the hands-on experiences of an engineering makerspace while leadership lessons provide them with the skills necessary to be STEM leaders of tomorrow.
GLAMPing (Girls Leading and Making Program) is a week-long day camp for incoming 6th and 7th graders that is designed to promote future careers and leadership in science and engineering.
The Campers, or “Glampers” will be introduced to several of our nation’s engineering ‘Grand Challenges’ (as defined by the National Science Foundation – NSF) and the week’s curriculum will explain how scientists and engineers can address these challenges. More importantly, the camp provides students with hands-on experiences in a lab, or makerspace, to encourage creativity and build skills that can help them better comprehend engineering concepts, improve their confidence, and increase their understanding of technical topics.
Additionally, the UCF SLAM (Science Leadership and Mentoring) program will discuss topics of leadership and self-esteem that help the Glampers learn the skills necessary to become the STEM leaders of tomorrow.
