Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy Summer Camps
Summer STEM needs to be fun and engaging so IMSA summer programs tap into each child’s natural desire to experiment and explore through hands-on activities that provide the opportunity to ask questions, make discoveries, and test those discoveries in search for new understanding. Our original, IMSA-unique, inquiry-based programs mirror the enterprise of doing real science. For more information and to register or apply for a scholarship, visit here!
