With summer quickly approaching, you may be looking for something for your middle school student to do and you want them to do something meaningful with their time – something inspirational, and impactful. Sure, sports camps are popping up everywhere, but maybe that is not your child’s interest or life-long goal. Instead, look at a program like the Adventures in STEM camp at the University of Tennessee. It’s a camp designed for upcoming 7^th-9^th graders to encourage interest in sustainability, technology, math, and science. In one week, they will learn about these high-demand areas while doing hands-on activities, exciting field trips, and interacting with STEM professionals.
