Registration for the 2026 Tapia STEM Camps is now open on our website! Originally founded by Dr. Richard Tapia, a National Medal of Science recipient, these week-long residential camps at Rice University are designed to inspire students through engaging, hands-on STEM projects. Students will explore a variety of STEM topics around the theme of data centers and their energy needs, while building communication and leadership skills! Have a camper that is interested in math and has completed high school geometry? Consider enrolling them in Techniques of a Pro Mathematician, developed by award-winning professor of mathematics, Dr. Paul Hand.
