STEM SHOWCASE: Students take part in Scratch Maker Camp at Centro

Students attending Centro Cultural Hispano de San Marcos’ Scratch Maker Camp showed off their creations Friday afternoon.

Campers took part in the STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — focused week-long session taking place from July 11- 15, which provided them an opportunity to gain skills, experience coding and build structures.

Sean Justice, associate professor of art education at Texas State University, said the Scratch Maker Camp gave students a chance to connect with STEM and STEAM learning by providing them an opportunity to be around materials such as motors, batteries, lights, circuits and computers throughout the camp.
