POTSDAM â This week at Clarkson University, kids and teens experimented with the science of motion.
The universityâs 15th annual IMPETUS Roller Coaster Camp was the culmination of a year of monthly programming centered on STEM: science, technology, engineering and math. About 150 students in grades 7 to 12 participate in the academic year program, implemented in 11 school districts mostly in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, and through Clarksonâs Hudson Valley campus at the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries.
The program has grown steadily, though the spring 2020 programming and the 2020 roller coaster camp were facilitated online. This weekâs in-person return of the summer camp drew about 50 of the total 150 academic year participants.
