STEM Summer Camps

Hands-On Experiences Today. STEM Difference Makers Tomorrow.

Design Connect Create summer STEM camps provide middle and high school age girls with hands-on experiences and career exposure that build academic, career and life skills. Our camps empower girls to design solutions, connect ideas to real-world applications and create their futures in STEM and beyond.  

Our STEM Camps include hands-on STEM activities and design challenges that are experiential and project-based. Girls learn how to use a growth mindset and critical thinking skills to discover solutions to problems. We also expose girls to a variety of STEM paths, careers and emotional intelligence by partnering with female professionals as role models, mentors and guest speakers.

Design Connect Create has impacted the lives of over 1,800 STEM campers.
