Purchase orders welcome. Available on TIPS and BuyBoard.Camps that change how students see themselves
Students do not just build at an ADI camp. They investigate a real problem, gather evidence, design a solution, test it, improve it, and explain it to their families. That is the difference the data picks up.

Middle school student surveys, ADI STEM Camps, 2021
"The best part of camp this week was being able to bring our prototype to life."
STEM Camp Student
Built for how programs actually run
Built for programs staffed by aides, college students, and first-year teachers. Every camp arrives complete, with a live training for your district and a recorded folder for anyone hired later.
We did the shopping, organizing, and packing, so you can focus on the campers.
"The trainings were very helpful. Being able to see what is expected from each challenge ahead of time was beneficial. I felt very prepared when we started."
STEM Camp Teacher
A 60-minute live training, built for your district
Scheduled at your convenience before camp, run online for your site staff, and built around the exact camps you ordered. The session is recorded, and every district gets a shared folder with:
- The recording, so staff hired later get the same preparation
- Teacher slides for every camp in your order
- Example setup photos and videos of the supply, build, and test stations
- Facilitation guide, day by day
- A printed materials checklist for each camp
Facilitation and on-site teacher training are also available for districtwide programs.

"My students were so engaged throughout the ADI STEM Camp. Everyone walked away having learned something."
STEM Camp Teacher, Fort Bend
Or build one idea across your whole district
Instead of picking camp by camp, choose a single engineering idea and run it K-8 in the same week. Every grade solves the same kind of problem at its own level, with the same vocabulary and one shared family showcase. These pairings come from the full library. Tell us your grade spans and we will build the list.
| Theme | Grades K-2 | Grades 3-5 | Grades 6-8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signal for help | Sound the Alarm | Sending a Message Using Patterns | Emergency Signal Device |
| Built to last | Stack It Up | Earthquake-Resistant Building | Crash Cushion |
| Keep the heat | Save the Snowman | Heat Shield for Playground Equipment | Cold Snap |
