The JROTC STEM Pathways camp was a unique opportunity for cadets to explore
their interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
– the “STEM” disciplines- through applied workshops with collaborative projects
and hands-on activities. This year,
hosting a total of 57 incoming junior and senior cadets from the SDUSD Joint
Brigade, STEM Camp was held at UCSD, where cadets not only fulfilled STEM
education, but explored the campus and college life through overnight stays in
the dorms of Revelle College.
This year’s workshops comprised of bioengineering, oceanography, biology,
and robotics. From July 31st
to August 4th, cadets were split into four different groups that
rotated between four workshops over the course of the week. On the final fay, during the closing awards
ceremony, each group presented their final presentation based on their last
workshop to show parents, guests, and cadre what they learned and explored.
