IUPSTEAMCamp Application
Interested in robotics, creative design, drones, and exoskeletons?  

Are you ready for STEAMCamp 2025? We've got an amazing experience for you at IUP from June 16-20, 2025.  Students will use the IUP STEAMSHOP facility to design, laser cut, and 3D print parts to build your own simple mobile robot. You'll then add digital sensors and program controls for your mobile robot. You will also get to  operate drones, try an exoskeleton, and complete tasks with virtual reality simulation.  

The final day, your mission will be to complete a programming challenge with your robot and showcasing your accomplishments.  Are you up to the challenge?  We are seeking students passionate about science, technology, and design-- is this you?

Camp runs Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM (drop-off starts at 8:30 AM; pick up by 4PM).  Students must commit to attending all 5 days.  There is a fee of $150 for the camp to cover materials and lunch which can be paid by check on the first day of camp (there are a limited number of scholarships available to help students who need financial assistance). Camp activities, materials and instruction are supported though the Southwestern Pennsylvania New Economy Collaborative-Build Back Better Regional Challenge grant and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Students will work with faculty and staff from across the campus in a truly interdisciplinary effort spanning departments of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Geography, Art and Design, and Safety Science. (All staff have background checks and clearances to work with students).

If you are interested in the camp, fill out the survey below. We'll review your information and send a confirmation about who is selected by June 6th. 

STEAMCamp is for students currently in grades 7 to 11.  We will be having additional summer activities for K-12 school students. To let us know you are interested in other summer programs, please fill out the following form and we will email you when the full program schedule is available: https://forms.gle/J6uAwVJbKEDvspF6A  

IUP is also offering a STEAMSHOP-affiliated Summer Honors College program for rising high school sophomores, juniors, or seniors. This program includes 3 college credits and requires application for Dual Enrollment and high school counselor approval. Learn more at: https://www.iup.edu/admissions/honors/summer/index.html
