Summer is just around the corner, and Cleveland State Community College recently announced its annual STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) Camp schedule. This summer’s schedule will include a variety of camps including 3D Design and Print, Balsa Bridge Building, Bucket Drumming, Coding, Digital Media, Girls in Engineering, Imaginative Drawing, Rhythm and Sound, and both Beginner and Intermediate Lego® Robotic Camps. STEAM Camps will be offered at both the main campus, as well as the Monroe County Center. In addition, there will be a virtual musical theater camp this year.

“We are excited to offer Summer STEAM Camps again this year,” stated Andrea Byerly, Continuing Education Project Coordinator. “These camps provide an opportunity for kids to experience adventure and explore creativity while learning Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math skills. Girls in Engineering, 3D Design & Print, and Imaginative Drawing are just a few of the new camps. Camps have limited enrollment, so we encourage you to enroll early.”

The complete list of STEAM Camps is as follows:
