“STEM, STEAM, STREAM, and Everything in Between” Collaborative Spring Break Day Camp
This Spring Break: Explore nature at Bok Tower Gardens, dig for fossils at the Mulberry Phosphate Museum, become a pioneer at the Polk County History Center, create a masterpiece at the Polk Museum of Art, and engineer a sustainable world at FIPR! For more information, visit www.fipr.state.fl.us (or you can ask us!).
Polk County public school students will be on Spring Break from March 24 to 28, 2014, but that doesn’t mean learning has to take a break also! Students from 9 to 12 years old can participate in a unique and local Spring Break day camp focused on science, technology, engineering, math, the arts, and reading (STEM, STEAM and STREAM) via fun, hands-on learning activities at five of Polk’s finest institutions. Program and education coordinators from Bok Tower Gardens, the Florida Industrial and Phosphate Research Institute, the Mulberry Phosphate Museum, the Polk County History Center and the Polk Museum of Art have collaborated to formulate the day camp events into the best that their locations can offer. Participating students will spend each of the five days of the camp week at a different institution, guided through the day by coordinating staff, and gain STEM/STEAM/STREAM learning experience through activities including:
