STEM Summer Camp enhances student creativity through hands-on activities and cooking classes

Lawton Public Schools is set to enhance summer learning opportunities for students with the introduction of the Makerspace Camp 2025, designed to enrich STEM education and the arts. This innovative camp aims to provide students with hands-on experiences that go beyond traditional classroom settings, allowing them to explore various fields such as science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

Participants in the camp will engage in a variety of activities, including cooking classes where they can create homemade meals, and space-themed projects that involve building models of spaceships. Students will also have the chance to learn about different cultures through activities like "Viva Las Dem," which features culinary treats from Spanish-speaking countries, and hands-on art projects that encourage creativity.

The camp is structured to keep students mentally active during the summer months, ensuring they are prepared for the upcoming school year. Educators emphasize the importance of exposing children to diverse experiences that could inspire future career paths. The camp not only fosters learning but also encourages students to think critically and creatively, as they are prompted to ask questions and explore new ideas.

Feedback from participants highlights the camp's engaging environment, with students expressing excitement about the various activities and the opportunity to learn new skills. The camp aims to cultivate a love for learning and creativity, making it a valuable addition to the educational landscape in Lawton.

As the summer approaches, Lawton Public Schools looks forward to the positive impact of Makerspace Camp 2025, which promises to enrich the lives of students and prepare them for future academic success.
