Register Today for GNO STEM’s Hands-On STEM Summer Camps!

GNO STEM’s 2023 hands-on summer camps offer fun and engaging hands-on experiences in STEAM – science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.  Campers work individually and in teams as they sharpen their critical thinking and communication skills and learn to think like a scientist. Plus, campers meet and learn from STEM industry professionals who share their expertise and introduce STEM opportunities and careers in Louisiana and beyond.

All GNO STEM summer camp programs are led by certified teachers and supported by GNO STEM staff, volunteers, and high school robotics team students.

A limited number of partial scholarships are available. To learn more, email jennifer.lacoste@gnostem.org.
