DO GOOD 41 STEM Camp courses include topics in computer coding, computer building, physical computing, Internet of Things, and Robotics.

Science

Nurturing inquisitive minds and inspiring curiosity. Experiments and experiences with the natural world, with living and non-living things, enable children to develop important scientific process skills, such as observing, questioning, comparing, and predicting

Technology

Learning to work with tools (both digital and otherwise). As 21st century learners, children will need to develop the technological skills necessary to navigate an ever-changing world.

Engineering

Promoting problem-solving skills. By designing, building, and testing their own constructions and creations (including, in some cases, robots), children become makers, as well as thinkers.

Arts

Helping children to express ideas and communicate. Creative experiences in language arts, visual arts, dramatic arts, and musical arts foster positive forms of collaboration and communication, as children develop self-expression skills.

Mathematics

Guiding children to apply logic and understanding to systems. Tangible, engaging math experiences supported by a variety of resources (including natural materials) help children develop in mathematical process areas such as problem-solving, measuring, and reasoning.
