Cherokee Nation offers science and technology camp



TAHLEQUAH — The Cherokee Nation will host an overnight Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Camp from June 8-20, on the Sequoyah Schools campus.

The camp is being hosted by the Cherokee Nation Education Department and will provide students with the opportunity to participate in a science-based learning environment.

A robotic project class will be taught by Dr. Calvin Cole of Northeastern State University and The Long Man Project, taught by Dr. Paul Shipman of the Rochester Institute in New York.

The Robotic Project will involve a series of competitive and cooperative projects to be built by teams of up to four participants. Students will learn skills geared toward the development of teamwork, planning, organization, programming, torque, speed, power, feedback and creativity.

The Long Man Project will introduce students to tribal thinking processes, which is defined as Native Science and is considered as a distinct method of inquiry by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Native Science processes include the incorporation of the use of stories, emulation and spirituality.

The STEM Camp is free and open to Cherokee students in grades 9-12 who are enrolled in schools within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Cherokee Nation.

All students must provide a copy of their tribal membership card to participate.

The camp will accept 30 participants. All meals are provided.

For more information or to enroll contact Daniel Faddis at 453-5224.
