West Philly Middle Schoolers! Join Drexel’s ExCITe Center for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) activities this summer! The Young Dragons 2022 Summer STEAM Camps will be fully in-person and featuring individualized themed weeks such as coding, Minecraft engineering, build your own computer and more!
Young Dragons offers a series of one-week in-person summer camps at no cost for middle school students in the West Philadelphia Promise Zone. Each program runs Monday through Friday (9:00 AM to 12:30 PM) at Drexel's ExCITe Center. Each one-week camp is distinct (activities do not overlap), and students should register for the camp(s) that best fit their interests. A separate registration is required for each camp. Snacks and lunch will be provided daily. Young Dragons is a partnership between the ExCITe Center, West Philadelphia Promise Neighborhood, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Signal Processing Society.
Participants should be rising 6th-8th graders living or attending school in the West Philadelphia Promise Zone, an area served by the following middle schools: Alain Locke Elementary, Morton McMichael School, Martha Washington Elementary, Science Leadership Academy Middle School, and Belmont Charter School. For reference, the West Philadelphia Promise Zone is part of the 19104 zip code. The program will be following all Drexel public health policies as it relates to COVID-19 referenced here.
The deadline for application materials is June 3rd. Space is limited and individual weekly registration is required.
