About this camp

SEEDS (Student Engagement, Exploration, Development in STEM) Summer Camp offers middle school students an immersive, hands-on STEM experience. The camp features two distinct tracks: Glow Lab and 3SC: Sports Scholars of Southern California. In Glow Lab, students delve into cosmetic chemistry, skincare, and product design, exploring the science, technology, and mathematics behind beauty products. This includes learning about product launching, pricing, market research, and digital branding, culminating in a product showcase and investor-style pitch. The 3SC track focuses on sports analytics, where students analyze data, statistics, probability, and the physics of athletic performance. Both tracks emphasize real-world problem-solving and include participation in a career panel with STEM professionals from various fields. The program aims to spark curiosity and deepen learning in STEM, concluding with a field trip to the California Science Center.
