Houston ISD STEM Career Immersion Camp Experience: Powered by Science Mill
Saturday January 25, 2025 8:55am - 10:10am CST
Discover how the Science Mill curriculum bridges STEM education and career immersion, aligning seamlessly with CTE initiatives. This session will dive into why we chose Science Mill as a partner, the funding strategies that made it possible, and an overview of what a Science Mill Camp entails, presented by Science Mill experts. Learn about the "train-the-trainer" model for implementing the curriculum and how we pivoted from a summer camp to an in-class elective experience for a small group of students at Holland MS. We’ll also share our challenges, insights on student and teacher engagement, and the overall impact of this innovative STEM experience.
