This year's C-STEM
Day, a day allowing students to show off their skills in programming,
robotics and math, will be on May 31. The event is a culminating experience for
students who have been working with curricula developed by the UC Davis Center
for Integrated Computing and STEM Education with support from the National
Science Foundation. The day's events will include three competitions. In
the
RoboPlay Video competition teams of students produce and submit original
videos using their robots. Competitors in the RoboPlay
Challenge Competition will be presented with a series of problems to solve
by applying their knowledge of robotics, math, design and their programming
skills. The Math
Programming Competition allows students to showcase their skills in
computing and algebra by solving math-based problems. In honor
of C-STEM Day's fourth year, the event has expanded beyond UC Davis
to include an event in Orange County at UC Irvine, with the assistance of
Coastline ROP.
The event, held at the UC Davis Pavillion and at the UC Irvine Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Sciences, runs from 8:30am to 5pm and is open to the public.
C-STEM
Becomes a UC Approved Educational Preparation Program for Undergraduate
Admission
C-STEM will be added as an option for new undergraduate
applicants to select as a UC approved educational preparation program,
commencing fall 2015 for all UC campuses. Participating in C-STEM is an
enriching experience with the UC academic rigor for K-14 students. As a UC
approved educational preparation program, C-STEM student and team awards
are now also recognized in the UC admissions process as achievements that have
explicitly prepared students for college and career. The UC online application
will open up on August 1, 2014 for fall 2015 applicants to begin
completing the application.
2014 GIRL Leadership Camp, August 4-8th
The C-STEM
GIRL Camps, held
on college campuses, are focused on motivating girls in middle school to learn
computing and STEM concepts through a fun and exciting robotics-based
curriculum. We hope this leadership camp will enable them to serve as
leaders and inspire other young girls to gain interest in science and
technology through creating robotics clubs on their school campus and
participating in the RoboPlay Competition on the C-STEM Day. The
camp participants are eligible for the Girl’s Leadership Award
