Since Fall 2013, the Mililani High School FIRST Robotics team has been hosting the annual Igniting Inspiration STEM Camp for elementary grade students in the Mililani school district. Our goal with this FIRST STEM camp was to get younger students interested in the fields of science, engineering, technology, and math by having our high school students mentor and teach the younger students through various hands-on projects.
In 2015, the Mililani High School Science club became a partner in hosting STEM club and has since aided in expanding the STEM Camp program to encompass additional fields of STEM, with varied experiences in STEM for the enrolled students.
With the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the STEM Camp had to be canceled due to concerns with health and safety - however, STEM camp has endured the challenges of the pandemic to return to its regular operations since 2022.
While the students and camps have changed every year, one thing remains the same: our clubs' commitment to inspiring the next generation of students with an interest in STEM.
During this five-day camp, our goal is to instill in the younger generation of students the value of STEM and useful life skills. Each camp, in some way, involves complex problem-solving and creativity through the STEM-based activities contained in each. There is a camp for each type of STEM-minded student, ranging from areas such as engineering and construction to computer science and programming.
Engineering Design Lab
Students learn how engineers think and solve problems using the Engineering Design Process (EDP): from initial challenges to testing and refining their solutions. Through engaging building activities, students will explore core concepts like structural stability and simple mechanics while discovering the science behind why designs succeed or fail.
LEGO Robotics
Students engage in a crash course of robotics design, assembly, and testing using the LEGO SPIKE PRIME kits - based on the 2022 FIRST Lego League (FLL) game Masterpiece! Students will learn about fundamental design principles, LEGO robot components, and ultimately deign and beat self-directed challenges using the game board and game pieces from FLL Masterpiece!
Dronelab with CoDrone EDU
Students learn about the construction and basic functions of drones, including extensive hands-on practice operating these devices. They also learn to use the drones in autonomous manners through introductory programming using Blockly and/or Python, two programming languages, to control the drone... without even touching the controller!
