Embark on an awesome adventure where students become nature detectives!

Students will participate in the following two activities. Lunch is included with the cost of registration along with exposure to Maryville's campus and college experiences.

We are always evolving and advancing our offerings at Burr Oak. These offerings will change from session to session, but may also change week to week. Our goal is to provide our campers with a valuable experience that not only highlights social interaction, but places an emphasis on physical activity, problem solving, and creative engagement.

Join us for the Maryville University STEM Studio 2024 Summer Camp Drones to the Rescue session.

Python is one of the most versatile programming languages today, used not only by developers, but also data scientists, data engineers, researchers, and business professionals at all levels. Applications include back-end ecommerce and web development, scripting solutions to business problems, and as perhaps the most valuable / heavily relied upon data analytics and visualization language today. Students in this camp will learn Python from two key perspectives. First, we will use Python to explore foundational programming concepts such as structures (iteration, decisions) and structured program techniques versus object-oriented programming (objects, classes, methods) variables, data types, memory management, error detection and debugging, and more. Secondly, we will use Python and its rich libraries of data analytics functionality to conduct basic data analyses, explore Python data visualization tools, discuss Big Data and Python’s ability to analyze Big Data. Learning Python from these two different perspectives – program development and data analytics – is perhaps the best possible exposure to coding schools that a high school student can receive. It develops parallel “how to” (programming) skills and “how to apply” (analytics) skills into one cohesive camp experience. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. iPads/tablets will not work.

Who are we sending to space? And who are some of the less well-known space innovators?

All things eclipse!
