2021 STEM Center Summer Camps

Rowan STEAM Academy

STEAM: Summer Science at Home is hosted by Rowan STEAM Academy. This program will be a week-long virtual science program for students entering 7th-10th grade. Each day students will take two workshops, Experimental Design and Environmental Science. The Experimental Design workshops will teach your child the elements of designing a controlled experiment and allow them the opportunity to conduct their own experiments right at home! Environmental Science will focus on global warming, human impact, and the importance of eco-friendly products.

STEAM: Summer Science at Home will run from 9am-12pm, Monday through Friday. Before the first day of the program, students will receive a box of materials that they will use for their workshops.  For local South Jersey students packages will be dropped off by program coordinator via no contact delivery, for those outside of the South Jersey region packages will be mailed. Finally, instructions on how to log on virtually will be sent out closer to the program’s start date.

Dates:

Week 1: July 12th-July 16th (Students entering 9th - 10th grades)

Week 2: July 19th-July 23rd (Students entering 7th-8th grades)

Price:

Cancelled: First LEGO League (FLL) Summer Robotics Camp

FLL introduces younger students to real-world engineering challenges by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface.  FLL teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities and, through the process, learn to make positive contributions to society.  
 
Rowan is a proud partner of FLL and is honored to host the annual Southern New Jersey FLL Championship at the Glassboro campus. To learn more about FLL, visit the National FLL website.
 
 

Cancelled: ASTRO Camp

Open to students entering 6-8th grades, Rowan University's ASTRO Camp introduces students to astronomy and the excitement of scientific discovery. Students will enjoy STEM activities in astronomy and related physics, explore the Starry Night computer program, photograph the sun, and experience the magic of Edelman Planetarium!

Cancelled: GEO Explorers Summer Day Camp

This authentic science experience for children ages 7-12 takes place at the Edelman Fossil Park at Rowan University.  The program provides a STEM curriculum and hands-on fossil hunting with Rowan paleontologists.  Campers receive a paleontologists' field guide to log their experiences and excavate their very own fossils.    Various dates and age groups.  More details and registration is HERE.

College of Engineering Community & K-12 Outreach

Our engineering department offers a variety of outreach programs including middle and high school field trips, after-school programs, and a variety of summer workshops for students interested in engineering. 

  • The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering invites middle school girls to Attracting Women into Engineering (AWE), a program designed to expose females to the broad field of engineering. Current middle school girls (6th, 7th, and 8th grades), those entering the 7th, 8th and 9th grades in Fall 2020, may participate in a 3-day camp during which they may work with and learn from College of Engineering faculty and students. The workshops will focus on hands-on engineering laboratory projects and will include experiments and professionalism.
  • The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering invites current 6th and 7th grade boys, those entering the 7th and 8th grades in the fall 2020, to participate in a 3-day camp during which they may work with and learn from College of Engineering faculty and students about the exciting field of engineering. The workshop focuses on hands-on engineering laboratory experiments and professionalism.  BEST will cultivate young boys’ interest in engineering through an applied approach to engineering, exposure to the diverse paths an engineer can take and the impact an engineer can have in shaping the future.

RISE (Rowan’s Introduction for Students to Engineering) - Register Here

  • The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering invites high school students to a three-day, non-residential workshop experience that features laboratory clinics, exciting engineering activities, campus & industry tours, and mentoring by College of Engineering professors and students. Students from high schools throughout the region may work with polymers, asphalt, wind turbines, bottle rockets, air cannons and Arduino programming during the hands-on engineering RISE workshop.  In addition, a tour of the South Jersey Technical Park, including a virtual reality CAVE demo, is typically included in the RISE workshop.
