Spring/Summer 2022 STEM Programs
Paid High School Summer Internship: The STEAM Collaborative is serving as the Camp Coordinator for Opportunities for Future Engineers, Researchers, and Scientists (OFFERS)! The Camp’s Summer Internship is a new program in the UC San Diego CREATE STEM Success Initiative (CSSI) and is financially supported by the generosity of the San Diego Foundation. The Communication and Presentation Through Science (CAPTS) training is a “near-peer” program where high school students learn science, communication, presentation and teaching skills and then put their newfound knowledge to work by teaching Science Labs to K-5 classrooms. The goal of this internship program is to have high school students act as role models and leaders for younger students in the OFFERS Summer Camps.

The Fleet Science Center summer camps provide exciting experiments, intriguing investigations and fantastic fun. Their camps fill up fast, but they are still linking curious campers with other programs around San Diego County. Keep in mind that The Fleet is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., including their other Youth Programs. The STEAM Collaborative has served as a mentor in The Fleet’s youth programs and has been most involved with the San Diego STEM Ecosystem Expanding Access Working Group.
Hands-on Technology Education returns with their Tech Adventure Camp. Two of their Summer Camp locations are the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park and Valley Middle School in Carlsbad. For the Spring, The STEAM Collaborative is leading the initiative to transition their summer program to an after-school program at a San Diego middle school.
