Summer Programs: Full STEAM Ahead Into Summer

For more information on these camps and classes go to www.LWTech.edu/summer

What’s better than Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) camp for girls? Our STEAM camp, which incorporates traditional STEM fields with the addition of Art!

“What every student needs to be successful in an ever-changing technological environment is creativity and critical thinking. Therefore, instead of STEM, the world is calling for students to engage in STEAM!” said LWTech Humanities and Visual Art instructor Jason Sobottka.

This full-day camp for girls incorporates art lessons with biotechnology, microbiology, alternative energy, chemistry, and environmental science. Students can sign up for one week, two weeks, or take the entire three-week camp. Not only will students earn two elective college credits per week, lab coats and lunches are included. Students will also go on scientific field trips.

• July 11-28 • Monday-Thursday: 9 a.m. - 3:50 p.m.• $284.82 per week

High School Girls Only STEAM Camp

High School Coed STEAM Camp

This full-day coed STEAM Camp covers the same exciting topics as the girls' only camp at the same price with the same college credits as above.

• July 18-August 4 • Monday-Thursday: 9 a.m. - 3:50 p.m.• $284.82 per week

Middle School Coed STEAM Camp

This one-week STEAM camp for middle schoolers teaches students about our planet. Students will take a journey into the various realms of science, including chemistry, physics, alternative energy, engineering, biotechnology, and more. They’ll learn important life skills such as team work, collaboration, creativity, and responsibility. Instructors will incorporate

art lessons to complement the subject matter, and students will create handmade artwork. Lab coats and lunches are included. Students will also go on scientific field trips.

• August 8-11• Monday-Thursday: 9 a.m.-3:50 p.m.• $284.82

Summer is a great time to try something new to increase memory, promote brain function, and expand horizons. Game in a Month is a workshop for high school freshman ages 14+ who want to design their own digital game in just four weeks. Think you need to be a technology wizard to sign up? Think again! Only basic computer skills are needed to enroll. Participants also have the potential to self-publish their own video games and mobile apps. It doesn’t stop at the end of

summer either. Students can continue creating more games using the Unity game engine, after summer is but a mere memory. So while some people might spend their summer playing video games, our students can actually design one!

• July 5-29• Monday-Friday: 9 a.m.-noon, with

optional lab time until 1 p.m.• Cost: $529.64• Students can earn four college credits

Digital Game in a Month

Fast Track Academic Transfer Courses Fast Track is the perfect solution for those who want to earn college credits in an accelerated manner. Students will earn five credits per class in only four weeks through hybrid classes (part in-class/part online). Students can take classes in Term A or Term B, or during both terms to earn more credits. Credits in English, Math, Psychology, and Communication Studies transfer to all Washington state public universities (and some private universities*).

• Term A: July 5-29 (Day/time depends on class selected)

• Term B: August 1-26 (Monday and Wednesday, times vary)

• $582.05 per class for residents• Students earn five college credits

per class

* Many private non-profit colleges and universities have distinct general education requirements. Students should check with institution(s) they plan to attend regarding application of transfer credits that will meet general education requirements.

It’s hard to believe that summer is right around the corner. If you’re a parent of a middle or high school student, plan a summer experience with Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) to set your kids up for future success, and keep them engaged during summer break.

This summer, LWTech has three new camps and programs designed for kids and adults: STEAM Camps (girls only and coed for high school and middle school students), Game in a Month (for ages 14+ and at least a freshman in high school), and Fast Track Academic Transfer classes (for students planning on starting college in the fall or for those who want to take classes over the summer and transfer them to their school).
