The camp offers a unique blend of hands-on learning with real-world industry exposure, including insights from STEM professionals and a focus on building confidence and curiosity in STEM fields.
The iBIO STEMgirls Summer Camp offers girls in grades 3-8 a hands-on, immersive experience in science, engineering, and biotechnology. The 2026 camp theme, "Case Breakers," transforms campers into scientific detectives. Participants will engage in activities such as using forensic tools, conducting epidemiological testing, and engineering home-built security technology to solve mysteries related to microorganisms, security failures, and culprits. The camp emphasizes real-world problem-solving, teamwork, and confidence-building challenges. Campers will gain exposure to various STEM fields and careers through interactive experiments and insights from STEM professionals. The week concludes with a Family Day where campers showcase their discoveries through a STEM exhibit and participate in a panel session.
A typical day involves morning announcements, icebreakers, and team-building activities, followed by splitting into course groups for hands-on STEM activities and experiments. Campers will also have breaks for snacks and a field trip day is included during the week.
This camp is best for curious girls entering grades 3-8 who are interested in exploring science, engineering, and biotechnology through interactive, hands-on problem-solving and detective-themed challenges.
