Cabins, Campfires and STEM

The warm summer months bring back fond memories. For some of us, the fondest include leaving our families for weeks at a time to head off to summer camp.

Recently, Will Dickson, iHub University Innovation champion and MIT lead talent scout for General Motors, had the opportunity to do just that at the National Youth Science Camp (NYSC) in Bartow, West Virginia.

Each year this STEM-focused camp invites more than 120 incoming college freshman “delegates” from across the country and around the world to explore the vast career opportunities a STEM degree can provide.
