About Us
STEM in Place: a group of high schoolers who wanted to help the community during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing high-quality, free, interactive, and fun learning opportunities for middle schoolers.
We are a group of high school students who want to make a meaningful contribution to our community. We first founded this organization during the Covid-19 Pandemic to serve as an outlet for students to think creatively and gain more knowledge while stuck at home. Now, this camp serves anyone who is interested to learn over summer break and it is still completely free! We hope to provide students with various courses that they could choose from, stimulating their interest and potentially sparking a passion for a subject that they were previously unaware
This camp is not affiliated with any school or outside organization – this is an independent high school student-led camp. All counselors are volunteers and are in high school. They receive volunteer hours and a wonderful experience teaching the course of their choosing.
