Lectures and hands-on research projects are presented by scientists from across the United States who work on some of the most forward thinking topics in science today - topics such as curing Alzheimer’s disease, nanotechnology, cybersecurity, invention and innovation, virtual and augmented reality, and the Internet of Things. Delegates to the NYS Camp are challenged to explore new areas in STEM, art, and music with resident staff members. Delegates also present seminars covering their own areas of research and interest.
