Bellmore-Merrick STEAM Camp Ignites Fun and Creativity

Rising eighth graders in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District recently participated in a two-week STEAM Summer Camp program. Campers explored and expanded their knowledge of code, design and advanced their skills building VEX IQ robots. STEAM participants spent time each day with coding and robotics teachers to explore various pathways of interest.

“Over the last five years, coding, robotics and 3D printing has been a high priority in the district’s seventh grade curriculum,” stated Robert Soel, department chair of science and STEAM. Soel continued, “The STEAM Summer Camp is a wonderful chance for students to continue enriching their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, art and math in a fun and educational setting.”

Teachers Ed Catapano, Deanna Ocampo, Dan Stiglitz and Rob Walsh provided their expertise throughout this engaging opportunity for students.
