As the final days of our 2026 summer camps wind down, we want to celebrate an incredible season! Nearly 100 students visited USI through our camps!

A huge THANK YOU to every single person who helped make this season a success.

We are now gearing up for an exciting academic year ahead, especially with the launch and growth of our new STEM Discovery Lab on campus. We can’t wait to welcome even more K-12 students, teachers, and families for year-round programming.

Thank you again for being part of our SwISTEM community this summer.
