Welcome to the 2019 Science-U camp season!

The Penn State Science-U camps are designed to develop critical thinking skills in every camper and encourage participants to pursue their personal interests in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Our camp experiences are designed and taught by faculty members, teachers, and students. We have camps for students going into grades 2 through 12 in the upcoming school year. Check out more info about the camps below, then register by clicking the button below or going to this link: http://www.cvent.com/d/m6qngn
