Aims Community College will again offer a free science and technology program for Greeley-Evans Weld County School District 6 high school students in July.
The Aims B.E.S.T. (Aims Battle Of Energy, Science, And Technology) program provides hands-on experience with technology and hones critical thinking skills. The four-day camp focuses on science, technology, and innovation-based activities. The program will be held at the Aims Greeley Campus on July 17-20 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Students are divided into teams and compete in missions that use programming, electronics and robot design, games and more. Winning team members will receive special aardvark trophies and recognition for their accomplishments.
Aims would like to build on the success of last year’s inaugural program. “It worked so well last year and everyone had such a great time exploring our technology at Aims,” said Industrial Technology and Energy Studies Instructor Dave Sordi. "I'm passionate about young people interested in STEM and the potential career opportunities in industrial technology," he said, noting that he can’t wait to see what this year’s participants accomplish.
The Aims B.E.S.T. program is sponsored by a grant from the National Science Foundation in collaboration with the University of Northern Colorado and Aims Community College, which allows it to be offered completely free of charge.
Space is limited, so make sure to register by May 31 at aims.co/BEST.
