Florida Polytechnic University is launching its first-ever summer camp, the Phoenix STEM Academy, offering students entering grades 3-12 an immersive, hands-on experience designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
Hosted on the University’s campus in Lakeland, the weeklong camps will feature engaging, project-based learning led by Florida Poly faculty, local educators, and trained student counselors. Participants will explore real-world STEM concepts through interactive activities tailored to their age group.
“Phoenix STEM Academy reflects our commitment to inspiring the next generation of innovators by providing meaningful, hands-on learning experiences,” said Kerri Demeri, director of auxiliary enterprises at Florida Poly. “We want students to see themselves in STEM and discover what’s possible.”
The summer program is open to students of all experience levels who are interested in exploring STEM in a fun and supportive environment.
