STEM Camp Day 10: Today, students explored the Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science!

Throughout the museum, students had the opportunity to discover exhibits that connected science, history, technology, and creativity. One of the highlights of the visit was watching the immersive show “From Earth to the Universe” in the museum’s planetarium.

We would like to thank the Evansville Museum staff for providing such an engaging and educational experience for our students!

STEM Camp Day 9: Sometimes the best camp days are the ones that don’t go exactly as planned!

Our guest presenters were unable to join us today, so we pivoted and gave students a choice between a movie and popcorn or some active fun. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of pickleball, and the students spent the morning enjoying friendly competition in the gym and video games on the big screen.

This afternoon, we fired up the grill for burgers and enjoyed some time outdoors with friends. While today looked a little different than originally planned, it was a great reminder that STEM Camp is also about building friendships, trying new activities, and having fun together.

STEM Camp Day 8: Today we visited the beautiful campus of the University of Southern Indiana and got a glimpse of what college life is really like.

Students explored several STEM-related departments and learned about the wide variety of academic pathways available.

What made this visit especially meaningful was our tour guide’s focus on the student experience beyond the classroom. For many of our middle school students, college can feel like a distant and unfamiliar concept. Throughout the tour, students learned about the many resources available to support college students’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being, including recreational facilities, student organizations, support services, and campus activities that help students build connections and maintain a healthy balance in their lives.

We are grateful to the University of Southern Indiana for welcoming our students and helping them begin to imagine what their future educational journey could look like!

STEM Camp Day 7: Today, our STEM Camp students got an inside look at the science behind crime scene investigations thanks to a special visit from a Sergeant Kelsey Skaggs with the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department Evidence Collection Unit.

Students learned about the path to becoming a law enforcement officer and explored the important role evidence collection plays in solving crimes. They examined professional evidence collection kits, learned about the tools investigators use at crime scenes, and discovered how careful observation and scientific procedures help ensure evidence is collected and preserved properly.

Students practiced dusting for fingerprints on a variety of objects, lifted and examined prints, and learned how to properly package and document evidence just as investigators would at a real crime scene.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Department and our guest, Sgt Kelsey Skaggs, for sharing her time, expertise, and experiences with our students!

STEM Camp Day 6: Today, our STEM Camp students stepped behind the scenes at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory to discover the science, engineering, and craftsmanship behind one of baseball’s most iconic pieces of equipment.

During the factory tour, students followed the journey of a bat, beginning with the careful selection of the right tree, through the high tech manufacturing process, and ending with adding the player’s signature.

Students also participated in a hands-on STEM workshop where they explored the science of waves and vibrations to locate the “sweet spot” of a baseball bat. By investigating how energy travels through the bat, they learned why some hits feel smooth and powerful while others create uncomfortable stinging vibrations.

Advanced Orthopedics will host a FREE clinic for sports physicals on Thursday, June 18 in the Owensboro High School gym from 4-7 p.m.

The sports physicals are free and will set you up for the 2026-27 school year. Students must be accompanied by an adult for this event.

STEM Camp Day 5: Today we welcomed a Physician Assistant specializing in orthopedic surgery who shared insights into his career, the education and training required to become a PA, and the important role he plays in helping patients recover from injuries. Students examined X-rays, explored anatomical models, and even participated in a live casting demonstration! A student volunteer received a temporary cast, everyone had the chance to sign it, then students watched as the cast was safely removed using the same specialized tools used in the office.

To end the day, we played some outdoor games and grilled some burgers!

A special thank you to our guest presenter, Adam Barnard, for sharing his time, expertise, and passion for orthopedics with our students!

Edit: Facebook has marked some these photos as sensitive content, but they are all rubber training dummies. I assure you they did not let our middle schoolers perform actual surgery! 😂

STEM Camp Day 4: Today students had an incredible opportunity to explore healthcare careers during a visit to HeathForce Kentucky!

Throughout the day, students participated in hands-on activities that introduced them to a variety of medical professions. In the immersive room, they learned about the important work of EMTs and how emergency responders care for patients in critical situations. In the sports medicine area, students used advanced 3D technology to examine muscles, bones, and body systems in ways that brought human anatomy to life.

Students also visited the medical laboratory to learn about the different tests and procedures used to help diagnose and treat patients. They practiced CPR with a respiratory therapist and gained a better understanding of how healthcare professionals respond during emergencies. One of the highlights of the day was the anatomy lab, where students stepped into the roles of surgeons and surgical technologists and experienced some of the skills used in operating rooms.

A HUGE thank you to the staff at HeathForce Kentucky for providing such an exciting and educational experience!

STEM Camp Day 3: students went behind the scenes and to learn how clean water makes its way from the underground aquifer to our homes and businesses.

Students toured the facility, explored the different stages of the water treatment process, and learned about the science and engineering that help provide safe drinking water for our community every day.

A special thank you to the staff and tour guides at the water treatment plant for welcoming our students. We appreciate the time you took to answer questions and share your knowledge!

STEM Camp Day 2- A small change of plans today since our guest had to reschedule. We played games in the morning, battled in an epic kickball game, then we made popcorn and turned iMiddle’s gym into a movie theater to watch “Spare Parts,” a movie about an underdog robotics team. Can’t wait to have our campers back tomorrow for our first field trip!
