    Our proposal is for a STEM summer camp program to educate underrepresented minority youth in science, technology, engineering and math. The camp would have teams of 6 students each from grades 7 through 12, working with teachers and volunteers to build robots and compete in tournaments. We are requesting funding to start the program and plan to later expand it to other schools and national competitions to inspire more minority youth to pursue STEM careers.
