Calling all 3rd-6th graders!!!

Discover the wonder of the world ....

Whether you’re building monarch butterfly gardens, making creations from recycled materials, performing biomass classifications, designing wildlife habitats, or crafting environmental awareness campaigns, you will get your hands dirty while learning about protecting and preserving our planet. Brave enough to eat an insect?!

WARNING: This camp contains live insects! Or should we say, “WOW! This camp uses live insects!“?

All GNO STEM camps are led by certified teachers and supported by GNO STEM staff and counselors. Our counselors are robotics team members from various local high schools. In addition, 'Lunch and Learn' guests are brought to camp during the week. These guests include various STEM industry partners bringing their expertise to life during a STEM presentation and hands-on activity. GNO STEM strives to introduce students to exciting hands-on activities and relevant industry professionals to broaden their learning experience as it pertains to STEM education and possibilities.
