What is STEPS for Girls?
Science Technology and Engineering Preview at UW-Stout for Girls (STEPS) is a one-week introduction to the exciting world of science, technology and engineering. Campers participate in a variety of workshops that give them hands-on experience with high-tech equipment and processes. Outstanding professors from the Engineering, Technology, and Sciences programs at UW-Stout teach the workshops. Campers also enjoy activities such as bowling, swimming, a pizza party, and karaoke. Camp counselors will supervise all activities.
An example of program activities during the week includes designing, manufacturing, and piloting a radio controlled boat. Campers will photograph and write articles about their activities that they will combine at the end of the week to create a Newsletter in our modern Graphic Communications Laboratory.
The camp is designed for girls between their 6th and 7th grade in school. Campers must have the consent of their parent(s) or guardians to enroll. An interest in (STEM) Science, Technology, Engineering & Math is a plus, but not required.
