Citizens Bank of Kansas funds Cosmosphere Camp scholarships

As Cosmosphere marks its 35th year of summer space camps, Citizens Bank of Kansas will again provide scholarships to eight students to experience hands-on STEAM learning at a camp this summer.

STEAM learning is an approach that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.

Scholarship winners will attend the Cosmosphere’s Mars Academy Camp, a four-day/three-night overnight camp where students will focus on building a habitat for another world, understand and overcome the challenges of gathering resources necessary for life, and practice skills like operating robotics and drones. The camp activities culminate in a team mission to orbit Earth.
