The camp offers a unique blend of sports science, data analysis, and engineering design, coupled with mentorship from USC college students and a field trip to the California Science Center.
The SEEDS (Student Engagement, Exploration, Development in STEM) Summer Camp, specifically the 3SC: Sports Scholars of Southern California track, offers middle school students an immersive experience in the science of athletic performance. Through hands-on labs and performance tests, students investigate biomechanics, force, velocity, reaction time, and injury prevention. They also analyze data, statistics, and probability in sports, learning how mathematics influences coaching strategies. The program includes designing and prototyping stadiums or arenas, applying geometry, physics, and engineering principles. Students will also participate in a career panel with STEM professionals and go on a field trip to the California Science Center to explore exhibits related to sports science and innovation.
A typical day involves hands-on labs, performance tests, data analysis, and collaborative design challenges, with daily lunch included.
This camp is ideal for middle school students entering grades 5-8 who are curious about the science behind sports and interested in STEM fields.
