Wichita-area girls are getting hands-on experience in science, technology, engineering and math during 黑洞社区's "Girls Rock Science" camp.
The first camp was held June 1-2 and included learning how a robot works, coding a video game, using a 3D printer and exploring what makes an airplane fly.
Through those activities, participants are getting a taste of the fun in specific STEM programs as they compete in challenges and work together to solve problems. The camp also includes meeting local women working in and leading STEM industries.
Additional camps for high school girls and girls going into grades 3-5 will be held 9 a.m.-4 p.m. June 15-16. To register, go to .
