What is camp all about?

At the STEM X-Ploration Camp, we'll engage in scientific inquiry and use math as a tool to explore, model, and analyze real-world situations. How do scientists determine the size of a faraway planet? How do coders program robots? What happened to the missing Indiana Dune? At STEM X-Ploration Camp, you might just find out! Through collaborative problem solving and active exploration, students will engage in interdisciplinary STEM activities and discover more about the world around us. STEM explorations will be guided by Ball State University science and mathematics faculty and local inservice and preservice math and science teachers.
