Collaboration, innovation, and hands-on learning are underway at WKU's inaugural INSIGHT STEM Innovation Camp!

Educators from school districts across Kentucky are spending the week exploring emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, and data science while working alongside WKU faculty and fellow teachers to create classroom-ready STEM experiences.

Participants will receive ongoing support and resources to help integrate these concepts into their teaching, strengthening STEM learning in schools across the Commonwealth.

Special thanks to the Center for Applied Data Analytics, The Center for Gifted Studies, and The Center for Energy Systems for their partnership and contributions to this exciting initiative.
