SPAWAR camps encourage students to pursue STEM careers
Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic hosted several camps this summer to encourage students across the Lowcountry to take a greater interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The sixth annual Palmetto Cybersecurity Summer Camp was a weeklong camp hosted by SPAWAR and Trident Technical College in June at Burke High School.
Volunteers led courses and exercises to help 150 students from Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties learn about the modern information technology environment, especially as it relates to cybersecurity and national defense. The activities gave students hands-on experience in an attempt to generate interest in STEM careers after graduation.
