CANYON, Texas — Exciting news for high school students! A free summer camp focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is coming to West Texas A&M University. From June 22 to July 10, students can dive into the world of AI and app development.
The camp, titled “Molecules to Megawatts: AI for Future Energy,” provides a unique chance for students to explore machine learning and artificial intelligence. They’ll even create their own energy-related apps and build solar cells from scratch. Dr. Juganta Roy, an assistant professor in the Chemistry and Physics Department, emphasizes the goal of this program: to spark interest in STEM careers and give students a hands-on approach to learning.
With recent statistics revealing that around 70% of jobs now require digital skills, this camp is perfectly timed. Programs like this can help bridge the gap in tech education. Students will also receive mentorship from WT undergraduate students, enriching their experience even further.
Interested students must apply by May 31. This camp is just one of nearly 100 summer programs offered by the university, which aims to provide impactful opportunities for the community.
