Seven STEM camps offered — Scholarships available!

2010 STEM Camps for High School Students were supported by the Tech Valley Career Pathways Consortium and the New York State Education Department with funding provided through the federal Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006.

The Tech Valley Career Pathways Consortium is a partnership between Hudson Valley Community College, Capital Region BOCES, Columbia-Greene Community College, Questar III BOCES, Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex BOCES, Schenectady County Community College, and SUNY Cobleskill. The Consortium is developing career pathways in green technologies, 21st century manufacturing systems, nanotechnology and biotechnology that will provide students with a seamless transition from high school into technical degree programs offered at local two-year colleges.

This collaboration resulted in seven Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) themed summer camps available to high students with a scholarship. The hope was that students would learn how much fun it is to be engaged in high tech careers and how to get there.

They were located all over the Tech Valley / Capital Region.
