STEM Camp

The Marjorie Lee Browne STEM Discovery Camp

A free, three-week summer program for rising 7th and 8th graders in Memphis.

It is primarily focused on mathematics and problem-solving because learning to love math and see it everywhere around you is the gateway to all STEM knowledge. Campers also get hands-on science and engineering experience.
