STEM Squad Saturdays
On Saturdays, the Camp Blodgett STEM (Science - Technology - Engineering - Math) Squad program is heading out to communities around Kent County to provide any 5th - 8th grade youth in the community with the opportunity for STEM learning and fun! During STEM Squad Saturdays, youth participate in hands-on Science, Technology and Engineering activities and participate in life skills and career exploration activities, as well as have opportunities to build relationships with other middle school youth.
This is a FREE program for Kent County youth; we do ask that registered participants commit to attending the program throughout the school year.
STEM Squad Saturdays will take place in Grand Rapids and Kentwood, MI from 1:00 - 4:00pm on select Saturdays. Youth are asked to commit to the five (5) Saturday STEM Squad meetings throughout the school year. Youth who attend the majority of the Squads will be eligible to attend our end-of-year field trip (location yet to be determined) in April, 2020.
