CLEVELAND, Tenn. –Cleveland State Community College is hosting a variety of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) Camps this summer including Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Lego® Robotic Camps, Musical Theater and Forensic Science. Camps will be offered at both the main campus, as well as the off campus sites in Athens and Vonore.
“Cleveland State has been providing STEAM Camp opportunities for over the past five years and has served around 500 kids since the beginning, and we hope to continue to grow over the years,” stated Keri Eyeler, Continuing Education Coordinator. “We are excited to announce the addition of two new camps this summer, Rocket Building and Balsa Bridge Building.”
There will also be a STEAM Camp t-shirt design contest component this year. Participants are invited to create a design to go on the front of the 2018 CSCC STEAM Camp t-shirt. Designs should be no larger than 12”x12” and if possible, submitted as JPG, PDF, GIF or TIFF files. Designs are for the front of the shirt only and must include the year, Cleveland State Community College and incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. Designs are due to keyeler@clevelandstatecc.edu by March 1, 2018, and the winner will be announced on March 16, 2018. The winner will receive their design on the 2018 STEAM Camp shirt and a week of free CSCC STEAM Camp of their choice. All participants that enter a design will receive 10 percent off camp registration if they register by April 15.
According to Eyeler, anyone can donate to the CSCC STEAM Camp Foundation, and this money is used to fund children whose parents or legal guardians cannot afford to send them to camp.
