We invite you to join us for the 4th Annual Science In The City Summer Camp. This camp is an opportunity to give underrepresented minority students access to science at an early age. This Google sponsored camp is offered through a collaboration between Stanford University's Science In The City research group and The Social Engineering Project, Inc.

 

The Social Engineering Project seeks to impact the world by building and sustaining social structures that will support themselves and impact change. In this camp, the focus is to get incoming 5th and 6th graders excited about science. During our one week session, students will learn Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Engineering. This high energy camp requires young people to think hard, ask questions, and to generate powerful explanations about science. The power of getting young people involved in science and allowing them to experience success at an early age removes any doubt that science is for our children. 

 

Some highlights to this year's curriculum:

​

• Virtual Reality Experimentation with real life experiences;

• Investigating real life problems in our community, such as lead contamination (Flint & Oakland), and how it impacts our bodies, the environment, etc. and what can be done to solve them;

• How science, chemistry, and physics impact the students in their daily lives and why mastering this knowledge is important; and

• The importance of working in groups, networking, and how they can leverage their networks in the future.

​

​Please consider joining us for this year's camp. Spaces are limited, so sign up today! Scholarships are available.

The Basic Details


The Science in The City Camp is a day camp. Students will arrive at 9:00am for instruction and will be dismissed at 3:00pm. Lunch will be provided. As a result, please provide information about your child's dietary or allergy limitations.  We will have a 15 passenger van that will meet at 7:00am at a to-be-determined location in Downtown Oakland to shuttle students to and from the Stanford Campus.
