STEM Academy at Georgia Tech

Join us May 31 - June 5, 2026 for a STEM-themed Summer Camp
Open to all rising 9th grade through 12th grade students! 

OPEN TO ALL YOUTH. BSA MEMBERSHIP NOT REQUIRED.

Our mission is to have high school students leave our academy with a deeper understanding of what STEM professionals do every day and how they change and build the world we live in. This is a unique and great way to get your high school students motivated about their future careers. Scouts will have the opportunity earn certain requirements from STEM-themed Merit Badges.

"I had the pleasure of being able to participate in the Scouting America's Georgia Tech STEM Academy for two summers, where I was exposed to the vast opportunities in engineering through many entertaining trips across Georgia. One of my most memorable moments was riding the see-through elevator at TKE, an experience that was both terrifying and exciting. While living on campus made me feel like a college student with the amazing food and beautiful campus, the STEM team-building projects emphasized the importance of communication and collaboration. This program was very formative in broadening my perspective on future college majors and career options."  -Statement from a STEM Academy graduate
