Mid-GLAM Camp

Middle School Generation Learning About Materials Science (Mid-GLAM) Camp

Materials are all around us. At Mid-GLAM, 7^ththrough 9^thgraders will have the opportunity to think like a materials scientist by investigating how materials are put together, how they can be used and how they can be changed or improved. Campers will by exploring the heart of materials, like plastic or metals, that make up the everyday objects around us — from the clothes we wear to the batteries that power our phones. Participants will walk away with a basis of STEM knowledge and a great deal of fun.
