Hough Science Day Camp

a Partnership with osu-okc
Free STEAM Experience for Oklahoma Middle School Students

June 12, 2026 | OSU–Oklahoma City Campus

Get ready for a full day of hands-on science, creative exploration, and real-world discovery.

The Hough Science Day Camp is a free one-day STEAM camp for students ages 11–14  (6th–8th grade) designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and introduce students to exciting science and technology careers in Oklahoma.

Hosted on the OSU–Oklahoma City campus, this immersive experience gives students access to college-level learning spaces and professional mentors — many for the first time.

What Students Will Experience

Campers rotate through six interactive learning labs:

• Anatomy & Physiology
• DNA Extraction & Molecular Science
• Engineering & Circuitry
• Forensic Science
• Sound Science & Hearing Exploration
• Creative Arts & Scientific Design

This is not a sit-and-listen camp.
Students experiment, build, test, create, and collaborate.

The arts are integrated throughout the day because innovation requires both imagination and analysis.

Camp is open to:
• Students entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade
