Tapia STEM Camps are award-winning residential summer programs hosted at Rice University for students in grades 8 through 12, combining rigorous hands-on STEM projects with communication and leadership development. Over six days and five nights, campers live in university dormitories and work on challenging projects in areas such as data centers, algorithm design, carbon capture and storage, and renewable energy, learning directly from Rice students and professors. The program places a distinctive emphasis on public speaking and teamwork alongside technical skills, giving students a well-rounded experience that mirrors real-world STEM careers. Registration costs $2,200 with an early bird discount (before March 1, 2026) or $2,500 at the regular rate (before May 30, 2026), making it a significant but worthwhile investment for motivated students eager to explore STEM at the university level.
