Future Innovators Middle School STEM Camp

Where curiosity turns into exploration. A virtual STEM camp for middle school students, thirty minutes a day, Monday through Friday.

About the camp

Middle school is when curiosity often turns into a real interest in science, medicine and technology. Future Innovators is built for that moment.

Designed for middle school students in Grades 6 to 8, Future Innovators is a virtual STEM camp where students explore medicine, the human body, engineering, artificial intelligence, environmental science, and more through short, interactive workshops and hands-on activities.

Sessions run Monday through Friday, with each workshop lasting just 30 minutes. Students can join the full experience or attend the topics that interest them most.

What students explore

A new field every weekday.

Short sessions, deliberately. A student can meet six or seven areas of science in a fortnight and find out which one they want more of.

  1. 01

    Medicine and the body

    How the body works, what goes wrong, and what clinicians and researchers actually do about it.

  2. 02

    Engineering

    Designing and testing solutions, from mechanical problems to medical technology.

  3. 03

    Artificial intelligence

    What AI is, where it is already used in medicine and research, and where it struggles.

  4. 04

    Environmental science

    How environment and health connect, and what that looks like at community scale.

How it runs

Thirty minutes, then back to your summer.

A short daily session is a deliberate choice. It is long enough to do something real, short enough that a student can attend every day for a month without it becoming a chore, and flexible enough that missing a day costs nothing.

Each workshop stands on its own, so students who can only make some of them still get a complete experience out of the ones they attend.
