The Wise Kidnetic Energy summer camps put on by the U of M are returning to Thompson from July 10th to 14th.
For over 10 years, the summer camps have travelled here to introduce northern youth to this Science-Technology-Engineering and Math or STEM experience, also known as STEM.
Julia Birnie, the Summer Logistics Lead with the camps describes what will take place this summer.
“Our STEM programming for nine to ten year olds is a five day long, all week camp and we have five theme days. We are going to be doing a natural disasters day, a chemistry day, an agriculture and plants day, an arts meets science day and a technology and coding day. We also have the tech talk programming for ages thirteen to fifteen. It has eight different sessions from Monday to Thursday and they can chose to attend all of them or just some of them to learn a little bit more about coding.”
Thompson’s camps will be held at Burntwood School.
