Foster Creativity and Exploration with STEAM Summer Youth Programs at UW-Parkside

Somers, Wis. – The University of Wisconsin-Parkside Professional and Continuing Education Department is offering STEAM-based summer programs for youth ages 11 to 17. They run weekdays from June through August. These programs focus on creativity and exploration through coding, technology, and bioscience, and provide one-on-one instruction and small class sizes.

Expert instructors engage students and ignite a passion for science, technology, and learning that lasts a lifetime. Kids will be engaged throughout the summer and will benefit from guided opportunities to apply what they’re learning in a hands-on setting.

The cost for camps ranges from $379 to $549. Full scholarships are also available through the Wisconsin DPI Precollege Scholarship. The DPI Scholarship may be used a maximum of three times per year, per student. For more information about DPI Scholarship eligibility, view the FAQ section of each program.

For high school students, the summer itinerary includes ACT Prep courses. Middle school options include Environmental Explorers, A.I. Adventures: Intro to Machine Learning, Minecraft Redstone Engineers, Esports Apprentice: Streamers and Gamers, Beats and Jams: Digital Music Creators, YouTube Content Creators, and Model United Nations. Each program is uniquely designed to engage with students in a myriad of ways to instill in them useful skills and ideas.

The university also offers online Summer Math Bridge courses, to help keep children up to speed with the math skills they learned during the school year, as well as ones that will help them be ahead of the game in the upcoming school year.
