Campers gain practical experience by running real experiments and presenting their findings to university faculty, offering a genuine taste of scientific research.
The TSU Junior Research Academy is an immersive one-week STEM camp designed for rising 6th–8th graders. Campers engage in hands-on laboratory experiences across various scientific disciplines, including physics, biology, microbiology, and chemistry. Activities involve analyzing athlete motion, solving mock crime scenes, exploring food transformation through fermentation, and engineering water filtration systems. The program culminates in a Friday Research Showcase where students present their findings to family, peers, and Texas Southern University faculty, fostering critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and presentation skills.
Over four days, campers rotate through hands-on labs in physics, biology, microbiology, and chemistry, engaging in activities like analyzing athlete motion, solving a mock crime scene, transforming food through fermentation, and engineering water filtration systems.
This camp is best for rising 6th-8th graders who are curious about science and enjoy hands-on experimentation and discovery.
