STEM Quest is a summer camp designed for students in grades 9-12 who are interested in engineering and need to strengthen competences in foundational courses such as math, physics and chemistry.

Instructors Needed

Faculty and graduate students are needed to serve as instructors for the STEM Quest camp. Instructors will lead a half-day experiential session from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. or from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. These sessions should focus on core competences and prepare students to continue engineering education.

A $250 stipend will be provided for each half-day session, and instructors will receive lunch and Mizzou Engineering swag.

Instructors should plan to attend a preparation meeting at 2 p.m. on Monday, July 15.

If interested, please submit a draft lesson plan to Kate Reuter at kreuter@missouri.edu.
