In this episode of Here in Hoptown, we're joined by Summer Brown from the University of Kentucky to talk about a hands-on STEM opportunity for local students this summer.

UK and the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library have partnered to host a free, three-day STEM camp focused on common Kentucky disasters—from flooding and tornadoes to other earth and weather-related events. Designed for rising 7th, 8th, and 9th graders, the camp gives students the chance to explore how scientists study and prepare for these events using cutting-edge tools like drones, virtual reality, and more.

Held June 24–26 from 10 AM–5 PM, this interactive camp offers a fun and meaningful way for students to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math—while gaining real-world insight into how science keeps communities safe.

️ Lunch and snacks provided daily.
