Wednesday, July 27, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon In the velvet... Deadline at hand for stEM camp registration Oregon STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and Center for Outreach In Science and Engineering for Youth (COSEY) are sponsoring a two-day STEM Camp on August 10-11 at Sisters Elementary School. Students must have completed grade 6, 7, or 8 to participate. Ruth Jones, the Oregon State University JUNTOS Coordinator is working to fill the few remaining spots for this mobile camp. “This should be a great camp for middle schoolers,” said Jones. “We are lucky to be working with COSEY and Oregon STEM to bring these mobile camps to Sisters. I look forward to filling this camp!” Thanks to funding by the Oregon Engineering and Technology Industry Council and COSEY origi- nally developed a library of project-based activity kits with a focus on engineering and design skills related to sustainability and “green” technology. The activity kits are rich with possibilities, including a mock oil spill activity in which students test substances that can remove oil from water, a wind energy activity and solar car activity. Curriculum is available for K-12 Educators to use in the classroom. Since rural students have fewer opportunities to experi- ence hands-on STEM activi- ties, mobile STEM camps, like the upcoming Sisters camp, were developed to reach out to rural students throughout Oregon. photo by douglaS beall We are lucky to be working with COSEy and Oregon StEm to bring these mobile camps to Sisters.
