K-12 teachers from across the state gained valuable computer science training to use in their classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Cyber and Computer Sciences, part of the Swain Family School of Science and Mathematics, also sponsored a cybersecurity workshop as part of the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the Zucker Family School of Education, the STEM Center continues to make a statewide impact on young learners. This year\u2019s STEAM Camp welcomed 63 students in grades 5\u20138 from 35 schools and homeschools. The Fine Arts program in The Citadel\u2019s School of Humanities and Social Sciences, along with volunteers from the Krause Center, served as company commanders and teaching assistants, engaging campers in fun and meaningful STEAM learning experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/provost-notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/stem-in-action-zfsoe-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/provost-notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/stem-in-action-zfsoe-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/provost-notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/stem-in-action-zfsoe-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/provost-notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/stem-in-action-zfsoe-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/provost-notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/stem-in-action-zfsoe-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.citadel.edu\/provost-notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/stem-in-action-zfsoe-2048x1638.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June was a busy month in the STEM Center.
