Sixty-two campers in kindergarten through 10th grade will be attending the ECU School of Art and Design’s STEM to STEAM Summer Camp.

ECU students majoring in art education, computer science and elementary education will serve as counselors. They will be joined by Ira Varney and Daniel Niece, art teachers in the Pitt County Schools.

Throughout the week, campers will engage in art forms including metal design, ceramics, 3-D printing, origami, paper-mache, sculpture and photography as they learn about important concepts from science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines with the addition of art (STEAM).

The camp was funded in part by the North Carolina Space Grant Consortium (NC Space Grant).

This gallery is from the first day of camp. Campers are shown drawing their favorite animal and it's habitat. They will sculpt the animal in clay and use the art for a background to produce a stop motion film. Pipe cleaners were used to form initials. The initials were placed in a borax solution overnight to see the solution crystalize. A CNC router cut precision shapes from wood.
