Garden City Community College, Garden City, Kansas, hosted its third annual STEM summer camp, “Science is Everywhere,” from June 4 to 6, offering three days of immersive, hands-on learning experiences for 13 area high school students.

The camp featured six interactive sessions spanning multiple scientific disciplines, providing students with practical knowledge and experience in various fields, including forensic science, fire science, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, animal science and plant science.

The summer camp is in collaboration with GCCC’s Title III STEM Grant, a $5 million grant from the Department of Education awarded in September 2021. This grant supports the expansion of science, technology, engineering and mathematics instruction, the development of new programs in Cybersecurity, Robotics and Crop Production and the establishment of the STEM Success Center at GCCC.
