STEM camp a success in Cartersville

GHC, in collaboration with Bartow County Schools, hosted a free STEM camp for rising ninth grade students in the local school system from June 22 to June 26.

The camp was held at GHC Cartersville campus and the Bartow County College and Career Academy. There were students from Adairsville, Cartersville, South Central, Woodland, and Excel middle schools.

Students learned about robotics, infectious diseases, environmental issues, as well as participated in activities that highlight the many STEM careers available in our community.

The students spent the first two days at Bartow County College and Career Academy and the last three days on the GHC Cartersville campus. 

The students went on at least one field trip each day.  The companies they visited were Anheuser Busch, Gerdau, Voelstalpine, Georgia Power, Innovative Chemical Technologies, Inc., Cartersville Medical Center, Phoenix Air, New Riverside Ochre, and Tellus Science Museum.
