51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ

Rebel Science Camp is a standards-based outreach program organized by the Office of the Dean of the College of Sciences at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. The program is designed to reach fifth grade students from Title I schools in Clark County School District early on in their academic careers. Rebel Science Camp presents students with real-world applications as to how science impacts their daily lives, enhances their literacy in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), and encourages them to attain a postsecondary education.

The fifth graders who participate in Rebel Science Camp visit 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ for approximately four hours and take part in various hands-on activities (for example: Building an Aquifer, Climate Change, Color Chromatography, Cookie Mining) in small groups, under the supervision of 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ instructors. These exercises expose students to different fields of the natural sciences and promote critical thinking. After the final activity, students, teachers, and chaperones are treated to lunch.

Rebel Science Camp is held on Friday mornings, February-April, at the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Maryland Campus. Schools are responsible for arranging transportation to and from 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.
