ALLIANCE — The University of Mount Union’s STEMCoding Camp is returning June 24-28 from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. every day on the University’s campus.

The camp returns following a three-year hiatus and is led by Dr. Julie Butler, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, and Dr. Christine Morales, assistant professor of chemistry. While the camp is mostly aimed toward seventh through ninth grade girls interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), anyone in that age range is welcome to register.

Students will be introduced to physics, coding and general science through fun interactive activities that will take place both indoors and outdoors. They will gain valuable skills and technical experience, learn about the various STEM majors offered at the collegiate level and receive information about in-demand STEM careers from Mount Union faculty and students. 

The registration fee is $50 and will cover breakfast, lunch and snacks for the students, along with a t-shirt that will be created through one of the activities. There are also scholarship opportunities available for eligible students to cover the registration fee. 

Space is limited on a first-come, first-served basis and those interested can visit the mountunion.edu/stemcoding to learn more and to register.
