4th Annual STEM Camp
Southern University Baton Rouge, in collaboration with Rice University’s Tapia Center, hosted the fourth annual Carbon STEM Summer Camp on June 15-18. Supported by a $25,000 ExxonMobil Foundation grant, the hands-on learning experience was part of STEMX, a month-long summer program hosted by the university’s College of Sciences and Engineering for students in grades 6-12. STEMX ran throughout June and focused on expanding access to high-quality STEM education. Designed to inspire students to pursue STEM careers, the weeklong program combined project-based learning, mentorship, teamwork, and problem-solving activities led by university faculty, educators, ExxonMobil employees, and summer instructors.
