Q: So, what exactly is STEAM Camp? Fair question. Our camp will introduce participants to potential careers within

Science, Technology, Engineering Art and Mathematics

Campers will learn about educational decisions that will prepare them for these careers. We will also focus on how

these careers often require similar, overlapping skills. This is a connected educational approach designed to share a

well-rounded experience.

Q: Who will be attending STEAM Camp?Middle school students presented by the Urban League of Greater Madison, Girl Scouts of Badgerland Wisconsin

and Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Dane County. This will be a constructive and collaborative experience. Campers will

discover together how to explore these exciting careers.

Q: How does STEAM Camp work?Our program runs for five consecutive days, June 26-30. The day begins with informal presentations which introduce

campers to people who work within STEAM disciplines. The goal is to give our campers a realistic, interactive and fun

look at these careers.

Lunch will be provided, then demonstrations and a behind-the-scenes, hands-on experience working within STEAM.

Camp attendees will gather at 8:00AM each day at the Urban League Office and return to the Urban League at

approximately 5:00PM each evening.

Q: How much does it cost to attend STEAM Camp?Nothing. Zero. Zip. We only ask our campers make an investment of time – show up every day on time, ready to

participate, learn and have fun. We promise, it will be well worth your time.

MORNING AFTERNOON

WEBSITE DESIGN @ ZENDESK

Our STEAM Camp students begin their week at the

Madison offices of Zendesk, a global company offering

web-based “help desk” software for handling customer

service issues.

Students will meet and interact with Zendesk staff

members to learn about software development and

website design and construction. Students will put

their new-found creative and digital skills together and

design individual websites.

CHIBITRONICS

OZOBOTS ROBOTIC

PROGRAMMING

One of our STEAM

Camp’s key missions is

to create innovative

ways to play, learn and socially interact in an expanding

digital world. Students using Ozobots are learning

sequential thinking, logical reasoning and coding

concepts. These critical life skills enable students from

all walks of life to succeed in the future digital age.

Our students learn how to channel their ideas into

reality, creating private games, secret codes and

their very own robotic equations, putting them at the

forefront of learning without even realizing it. When

playing digital apps with a physical toy, it bridges the

gap between the physical and digital realm - creating a

whole new world of educational play.

Such activities help us present an innovative way to

teach subjects like programming, math and science in

classrooms. Kids become engaged and inspired lifelong

learners when topics come alive.

MORNING AFTERNOON

CAREERS IN HEALTHCARE @ UW HEALTH

Did you know there are hundreds of different careers

available in healthcare? From nurses and doctors

to chefs and administrators, the possibilities are

endless. UW Health is excited to partner with Strang’s

STEAM Camp to provide students an opportunity

to see various careers in healthcare through fun

and educational presentations, tours and hands-on

activities

ZOETHICA

Peter Krsko creates collaborative and community

public art, such as sculptures and murals, inspired

by biological concepts of diversity, differentiation,

participation and co-ownership. His sculptural

installations mimic natural structures and forms as

well as the dynamics and laws of interactions among

members of the ecosystems. Peter is the artist in

residence @ UW-Madison Arts Institute.

Students will engage in a hands-on study of the

natural world. Krsko will guide students to observe

natural materials, organisms and systems at micro-,

meso- and macroscopic levels. During this process,

students will analyze artistic and scientific approaches

to studying nature and develop novel materials and

systems based on natural concepts.

MORNING AFTERNOON

FINANCIAL LITERACY WITH SUMMIT CREDIT UNION

Campers will spend the morning at Summit Credit

Union’s Inspiration Branch located in Fitchburg, WI. The

branch is a 3-D visualization of various dreams and

goals meant to inspire and motivate people to action.

After a tour, campers will step into their futures

and participate in a Mad City Money simulation.

After receiving a job, income and a family, campers

will choose housing, transportation, food, household

necessities, clothing, and other wants and needs.

The challenge – to stay within their income when the

pressures of student loans, credit card debt and

saving their money factor in.

DISCOVERIES IN THE LAB @ PROMEGA

Our campers travel to the BioPharmaceutical

Technology Center for hands-on laboratory

experiments based on molecular biology techniques.

After a 30-minute slide show about bioluminescence,

students go into the laboratory to perform a

simulated genetic transformation, which transfers the

luciferase gene, and the ability to make bioluminescent

light, into bacterial cells.

Key topics:

» Bioluminescence

» DNA and genetic transformation

» Bacteria and sterile technique

Students are reminded to wear close-toed shoes and have covered

legs (pants or long skirts, not shorts or short skirts).

DISCOVER ENERGY!!

Students will learn about the world of energy and energy career

opportunities through a variety of presentations and hands on work.

Campers will learn how MGE keeps the lights on and the natural gas flowing

to our community. What is the role of renewable energy now and in the

future? Students will have an opportunity to work in teams to build a working

wind turbine and then compete in friendly competition to see which design

can do the most work. We’ll explore how new electric vehicle technology is

changing the way we drive and how it impacts the electricity grid.

Students will get a behind the scenes look at how MGE manages and controls

the electric wires and gas pipeline system in the Distribution Operations

Center.

Have you ever toured an electric generating station to see where electricity

is made? Hold on to your hard hats! Students will the tour of the Blount

Generating Station, one of Madison’s oldest electric generating facilities and

see how electricity is made.

Training today’s electric and natural gas employees is a huge job with

changing technology and maintaining a safe work environment. You’ll see

firsthand MGE’s new Training Station and some of the unique equipment we

use to do our jobs.

TREK BICYCLE

Bicycles have not been immune to the explosion in technological

advancement, and Trek has been at the forefront of the movement,

continually challenging the limits of the bicycle’s capability.

This, our final day of camp, is going to be really fun. Our friends at TREK

have generously invited Strang’s STEAM Camp in for a behind-the-scenes

look. From TREK’s fastest hand-built carbon race machines to their refined

aluminum models, our campers will explore TREK’s relentless technical

innovations and learn how bicycle design, testing and manufacturing come

together to create the world’s best bicycle.
