Students attended a summer STEM camp provided by the Jordan School District, as preparation for classes they will encounter when they enter seventh grade this fall at the STEM Academy Middle Schools – Oquirrh Hills, Joel P. Jensen and West Jordan Middle.

“The purpose of the camp is to increase interest in STEM subjects, build interpersonal skills and provide an opportunity for incoming seventh-graders to have access to the building and teachers, making the move from their elementary school environment to the middle school more comfortable and successful,” said Jane Harward, district administrator on special assignment for science/STEM/health/PE/dance.
