ECO Science Foundation (ECOSF) and Pakistan Science Club (PSC) started a series of Online STEM Camps since April 2020 for the students and families during the COVID-19 pandemic which has confined children in their homes. Recently, three more Online Camps (3rd, 4th and 5th) have successfully been conducted. Online Family STEM Summer Camps provide a platform for hands-on/fun-learning scientific activities and engaging experience for not only students of different age groups but also parents also enjoy them with helping and guiding their children.
More than 170 families participated in the last 3 camps. An open workshop was also conducted in the wake of improved situation of COVID-19.
Batch 6 will be starting from 12 September 2020. Following projects were assigned/completed by the students during the camps.
