Greater New Orleans STEM Virtual Holiday Camps will offer students and teachers the opportunity to grow STEM skills, knowledge and become more aware of career opportunities in a variety of STEM fields including, but not limited to Robotics and Engineering. Participants can expect a fun and busy two days which offers a virtual “hands-on” STEM learning, team building and critical skills in reasoning and analytical thinking that will offer students important career skills.  No prior experience is needed to participate, however, a computer device with a camera and internet access is needed.  

This year's Virtual Holiday STEM Camp will each be a two day session.
