Our goal is to saturate students from K-16 levels with enriching
and engaging experiences in STEM to increase enrollment in post
secondary institutions (Lincoln) and to increase the pool of qualified
and career ready employees.

Summer 2014 Camps
Project 1: Investigating the “E” in
STEM
Project 2: CREO /AUTOCAD
• One week
• 15 middle and high school
students
• 15 middle school students
• Daily building competitions
• CREO 3D software and twodimensional drawings
• Curriculum: Design Squad
Nation, Inc. – a PBS PBS
supported design engineering
curriculum
• One week
• CREO 3D CAD software
• Work in small groups
Design and Build Challenge
LU college students give advice
about how to design the crane.
Students could only use
cardboard, string, pencils, a shoe
box, and tape to create the crane.
(See above for one version of a
successful design)
Micrometer Displays
Students tested batteries and
discussed Ohms, wattage, and
resistors.
Undergraduate students talked
about the micrometer and the
transfer of electricity using various
fruit.
Design and Build K-Nex Free Time
Students were challenged to work together
to build a balloon powered rocket that
would shoot from the floor five feet from a
target and hit the bulls eye.
(Adapted from pbs.org engineering curriculum)
Available materials: balloon, two straws
of different sizes, tape, and paper.
Students test their rockets in the hallway.
Teams changed with each
challenge to make sure all
students had a chance to
work with different students.
Rover Build
Challenge
Build Trials
Rover Race
Basic Stamp Activity Kit
Students work in groups of
two to write programming
codes and learn electronics
Students are challenged to
connect resistors to a board,
develop a program to make
the led lights show numbers
from 0 through 9 and then
the alphabet.
Max Uhlmann reading the
instructions manual and writing
code using the binary system
Ben Bommell inserting resistors
Auto CAD & CREO
Each student was challenged to use
AutoCAD to create a 2D picture based
provided guidelines.
CREO Class- students were
challenged to draw their name then
use the extrude tool to create a 3D
image.
Wade Hoover and Michael Heise
showoff their radios as they move
throughout the building trying to get
a signal.
Break it Break It Sessions
Students in this group took apart a
computer extension base that
included extra USB, printer, and
modem ports.
All students were given their own laptop
and screwdriver sets at this exploration
session. Each student was instructed to
disassemble their laptop and locate
speakers, hard drives, floppy drives,
cooling fans, memory sticks (RAM),
batteries, and microprocessors.
Daily Build Challenges
Teams of students were challenged to
build a crane that would lift a cup of
marbles.
Using educational engineering curriculum
from Design Squad Nation (a pbs
publication), organizers required students
to brainstorm in small groups, develop at
least three sketches of their proposed
product, then build, test, and redesign.
