STEM Explorations

Camp for students

Camps supporting student success. Contact us to get started

This camp is offered to help students develop 21st-century skills with open-ended STEM projects that explore and connect the principles of science, math, coding and engineering design. STEM camps leverage either the TI-84 Plus CE family or TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculators, along with the TI-Innovator™ Hub and TI-Innovator™ Rover, to build students’ understanding of STEM concepts and careers.

By the end of the camp, students should feel comfortable with:

  • Coding in either Python or TI-Basic to spark interest in computer science, engineering and robotics.
  • Programming the TI-Innovator™ Hub to design and build working solutions to engineering problems with a variety of sensors, motors and more.
  • Programming the TI-Innovator™ Rover robotic vehicle to explore physical computing and put math and science concepts in motion.

Overview

STEM camps are available in half-day, one-day and multiday options for up to 25 students. Camps are highly customizable based on your timeframe, goals and TI technology.

Half day

  • Overview of either the TI-84 Plus CE or TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculator.
  • Introduction to coding in either Python or TI-Basic.
  • Programming explorations with the TI-Innovator™ Hub or TI-Innovator™ Rover.

One day

  • Coverage of one or two hands-on STEM projects with the TI-Innovator™ Hub and/or TI-Innovator™ Rover.
