Summer Science Camps in Nebraska
Young Nebraska Scientists:
The Young Nebraska Scientists program offers summer science camps at college and university campuses throughout Nebraska. Our camps for middle and high school students take place at the University of Nebraska (Lincoln), Doane College (Crete), and Creighton University (Omaha). YNS will increase participants' technological, scientific, and quantitative literacy, place strong emphasis on closing achievement gaps, and increase scientific student participation. We aim to provide opportunities for Nebraska middle and high school students to learn science through science-related activities, and to explore a combination of science, technology and society with the guidance of scientific and academic experts.
