Research the STEM education programs and tech camps in detail. Go through the focus areas, course duration, and geography to ensure it aligns with your field of interest, including coding, app development and robotics.
Run through the eligibility criteria, including educational prerequisites, age limit and more. The eligibility may differ based on camps, wherein some may require relevant experience in the fields of robotics and coding while others cater to basic introductory courses for freshers.
Keep necessary documents handy, including recommendation letters, academic transcripts, and personal essays. Ensure the essays highlight your keenness in STEM studies and technology and throw light on your skills and projects related to STEM, eg, participation in robotics competitions and coding challenges.
Read the application instructions thoroughly. Check the list of documents required and the deadline. Also, check if the application process will be online or requires the candidates to submit them in person within the set deadlines.
Specific Summer programs for students require candidates to qualify for an interview as a criterion for meeting eligibility requirements. Prepare well to discuss your interests in the technology field, your passion for STEM, and ways you can contribute to the field during camps.
Post the application submission, track your application status and correspondence from the organisers. Maintain patience through the selection process, especially those related to the competitive Science camps for teens.
