At the Summer STEM Institute (SSI), boys and girls have the ability to explore all STEM fields. They will work in teams, meet new friends and perform hands-on experiments that make science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) come alive.

The SSI program has been designed and vetted by STEM educators and professionals to be fun and age-appropriate. Hands-on activities help students learn the academic concepts behind the experiments.
