MARINE CORPS BASE Quantico, Va – Last week, 46 local students gathered at Quantico Middle High School aboard MCB Quantico, Va., for the 14th edition of MCSC’s Summer Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—or STEM– Camp.
The weeklong camp, centered around the theme of robotics, provided students who are rising 6th-9th graders with a stimulating environment to explore this fascinating—and critical— field. Working closely with teachers and MCSC team members, participants engaged in constructing Lego robots with functional arms and navigated a series of challenges using block programming. This immersive experience not only enhanced their problem-solving skills and creativity but also provided a thorough introduction to robotics and programming—skills vital for equipping the Marine Corps with advanced technological capabilities.
