STEM Santa Fe | Summer 2022 Highlights
HIGHLIGHTING SUMMER 2022 STEM CIRCLES SERIES
Over the summer of 2022, STEM Santa Fe offered 6 sessions of our Summer STEM Circles program (formerly known as STEM summer camps) on 3 unique topics to 91 students in Northern New Mexico! The STEM circles ran from June 6th to July 15, with some sessions occurring concurrently in two sections due to high demand.
During the App Development and Building Laser Harp circles, we hosted a Friday showcase for family and friends where students showed their projects and practiced their presentation skills. We offered one circle for girls/nonbinary students only, and the rest were all-inclusive. The circle for girls/nonbinary students only was an Aviation and Aerospace session that was a new collaboration with the Women in Aviation International (WAI) Land of Enchantment Chapter and the Rio Grande Norte Chapter of The Ninety-Nines, Inc.
In addition to the students we served, we engaged a total of 36 adult volunteers, some of which participated for multiple days and 15 of whom were STEM professionals who shared their expertise through presentations or workshops. Additionally, we had the privilege of having 4 STEM Santa Fe staff instructors leading the STEM circles.
