Are you intrigued by the world of medicine and eager to explore career possibilities in healthcare? Look no further than NIU STEAM’s Biomedical & Health Careers Summer Camp! This weeklong residential camp for students entering grades 9-12 provides an immersive experience into the important role health professionals play in communities and demonstrates how rewarding this growing field can be!
Throughout the week, campers will engage with a diverse group of healthcare professionals who will share their real-world experiences and insights. They’ll get a firsthand glimpse into the numerous career paths and variety of education and salaries available in the field. Campers will also have the unique opportunity to learn from college students who are actively pursuing their own pathway toward a future health or medical career. They’ll have the chance to ask questions and hear from the generation ahead of them.
NIU STEAM’s Biomedical & Health Career camp will be on the move, exploring various learning spaces on NIU’s campus and in the local area. Campers will have many hands-on learning opportunities to experience what it’s like to work in the field. Throughout the week, campers will use their research and learning to design and develop their own innovative biomedical device.
Join NIU STEAM in making this a summer to remember for your camper as they connect with peers who share their passion for healthcare and science, form lasting friendships and begin building a network that will support them on their own future career path.
