About this camp

The MIT Full STEAM Ahead Into Summer program invites middle school students to a three-week immersive day camp on MIT's campus. The program focuses on climate and sustainability, offering hands-on learning experiences that blend engineering, art, and project creation. Students will engage in activities such as building model CubeSats to explore space and Earth data, designing and creating musical instruments from PVC pipe to sonify climate data, and constructing wind turbines to understand renewable energy. The curriculum emphasizes iterative design through projects like building and testing two-stage water rockets, encouraging students to experiment, learn from failures, and continuously improve their designs. Participants will gain practical skills in STEM, develop creative problem-solving abilities, and foster an understanding of climate and sustainability challenges through interdisciplinary projects.
