This June, 60 middle school students participated in our Middle School Summer Program. We had English, Social Studies, and STEM classes where students learned about a variety of topics while engaging in hands-on activities. Lunch was provided each day at the Harper Dining Hall on UNL's campus. Participants got to meet new students from all over Lincoln, take field trips on and off campus, as well as earn prizes at the end of the program.
In addition, 20 middle school students participated in a month-long Coding and Robotics Program where they had the opportunity to learn basic coding principles while using Sphero Bolt robotics and facial recognition technology. Students had field trips to the Raikes School of Computer Science and Management and the NIMBUS Drone Lab. At the end of the program, they designed, built, and programmed their own final projects.
