The Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) Waukon Center’s first-ever science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-themed summer camp, “Robotic Olympics: Leap into the Future”, enjoyed great success and participation from the community.
The camp, which was held June 8-10, provided 37 students in fourth through sixth grades an opportunity to learn about STEM while working with and completing robotics projects. As part of the camp’s activities, the students visited the Lely robotics milking system at Iowa’s Dairy Center (pictured below), located just south of the NICC Calmar campus, and presented their projects (pictured at right) in a final graduation day for parents, community members and partners.
