Classes that immerse students in the interdisciplinary fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, fostering innovation and problem-solving skills.
This well-rounded approach ensures that participants gain valuable insights and experiences, setting a strong foundation for their future success. Are camps are currently located in Avalon Park, Apopka, and South Orlando.
