This summer, middle school students have the opportunity to explore fun applications of math and science in an exciting, hands-on, team-oriented atmosphere on the Auraria Campus. This opportunity is FREE for a total of 125 students from the seven districts participating in the Rocky Mountain Middle School Math and Science Partnership granted funded project. For all other students, the cost of this program is $225.

 

In each session, the Metropolitan State College faculty will teach morning and afternoon classes based on Colorado content standards in an integrated setting. Check out last year's faculty. (We'll post information on this year's when more information is available.)  Students will be provided lunch each day, and a day-long field trip to Six Flags/ Elitch Gardens will conclude each two-week camp. Daily attendance is required. All activities are supervised.
