Simsbury Summer Camp Offers a Taste of STEM Fields

During the week of July 18, the Simsbury Department of Continuing Education will host its first Gateway Academy Summer Engineering Day Camp. The Gateway Academy curriculum is a joint program between Project Lead The Way (PLTW) and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers Education Foundation (SME-EF). The Simsbury Chapter will be offered for Grades 5 to 8 who want a week-long summertime experience programming robotics, designing eco-friendly jewelry or launching rockets.

Simsbury High School provides a PLTW high school STEM program that offers courses in engineering and biomedical sciences. Gateway Academy is an extension of the PLTW program that engages students during the school year and uses the same Autodesk Inventor software found in the high school's engineering design courses.

The camps are held at PLTW-certified schools because the design software and equipment is available through PLTW courses offered during the school year. All together, approximately 5,000 middle school students in 29 states will attend a Gateway Academy camp this summer, some of which are devoted exclusively to girls, to encourage more of them to take STEM courses.
