BeSTEM! Summer Camp Scholarships<\/h3>\n
Michael Addis, a 2015\u00a0UMD Master of Engineering (MEng)<\/a>\u00a0graduate, saw a need for summer camps that do more than provide kids with fun activities related to STEM topics. That\u2019s why he and two colleagues launched the\u00a0BeSTEM!! Summer Camp<\/a>\u00a0program, which offers full-immersion camps designed to create an authentic engineering experience.<\/p>\n Using your donations, the Project Management Center for Excellence paid to sponsor students who wanted to participate in the BeSTEM! Summer Camp program.\u00a0 Below are students from the 2019 BeSTEM Summer Camp who received the scholarships.\u00a0 We plan to purchase addition scholarships for the 2020 BeSTEM! Summer Camp Program.<\/p>\n When you register for our event, you are asked if you would like to make a contribution to the Project Management Symposium’s Scholarship Fund. Many of you have contributed and we wanted you to know what we have done with your donations. As donations are increased, we are planning to expand the types of scholarships […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3379","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pmsymposium.umd.edu\/pm2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pmsymposium.umd.edu\/pm2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pmsymposium.umd.edu\/pm2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pmsymposium.umd.edu\/pm2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pmsymposium.umd.edu\/pm2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pmsymposium.umd.edu\/pm2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3379\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pmsymposium.umd.edu\/pm2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/pmsymposium.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/04\/30142629\/lillie-300x300.jpg\")
\u201cThrough BeSTEM’s hands-on activities, I now understand the process engineers go through while creating or improving a product as well as why engineering is an important job\u201d

\u201cBeSTEM! taught me that engineering is not an easy task. There\u2019s a lot of mathematics, measurements, and calculations that go into building the process of creating something. You also have to be patient and everybody has to work together for the same goal.\u201d

\u201cI came to know the several things that engineers need to keep in mind to build a successful robot. I also came to know that engineers also work in groups to solve problems. This is an eye-opener for me and I learned a lot from this robotic project created by my BeSTEM instructors.\u201d
