In a partnership with the Florida State University Panama City STEM Institute, The Collegiate School at FSU PC is hosting its second Summer Institute in June and July, a series of day camps for students who have completed grades 7-8.

Camps will focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics), including crime scene investigation, acting, flight technology and art. Register online at TCS.FSU.edu. Campers will bring their own lunches.

CSI-TCS UNIT: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 9-12 and July 7-10; $140 per person. Students will use science, technology and new STEM skills in a murder mystery role-play by taking on the role of a suspect who attends a culminating party where the guilty party will be revealed. Includes a certification in WordPress.

“We hope students will take advantage of these exciting camps since each of them explores career options and pathways available at The Collegiate School at FSU Panama City,” said Jenna Edwards, administrative specialist with TCS.
Recently concluding its second year, The Collegiate School is FSU Panama City’s laboratory high school located at 2430 St. Andrews Blvd. Last year, TCS was recognized as an “A” school by the state Department of Education and was named a Purple Star school for its commitment to children from military families.

This fall, TCS will grow to serve grades 9-11, including an expansion into dedicated classroom space on the FSU Panama City campus, 4750 Collegiate Drive. For more information, visit TCS.FSU.edu or email TCS@fsu.edu.

The FSU Panama City STEM Institute connects university resources, faculty expertise and professional knowledge with school districts, educators and students to enhance STEM curriculum and classroom practices. For more information, visit PC.FSU.edu/stem.
