Freetown Village STEM Summer Camp 2026
Inspiring young minds through learning, creativity, and community.
We did it! The first Freetown Village STEM Camp 2026 was a huge success!
The Wadadli Backpack Project would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the following individuals and organizations for their incredible generosity, time, support, and donations.
There are simply no words to fully express the immense gratitude I feel knowing that you believed in this initiative and chose to invest in the lives of the children we serve. Your kindness and compassion have made a meaningful difference, and your contributions will help ensure that students begin the school year with the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed.
On behalf of The Wadadli Backpack Project, thank you for helping turn this vision into a reality. Your support has reminded us that when a community comes together, we can make a lasting impact—one backpack at a time.
With sincere appreciation,

4-Day STEM Camp Summary
for Elementary Students
(Ages 5-12)
Introduction
This 4-day STEM camp provides elementary students with a hands-on and engaging introduction to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Each day focuses on one specific STEM area through fun, interactive experiments and activities. We will introduce the students to the wonderful world of robotics simultaneously with the STEM topics. The camp concludes with a final project that combines all four STEM fields, encouraging teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving.
Day 1: SCIENCE
Science looks at the wonders of nature, and helps us understand why things work the way they do! From mixing different liquids together, to learning how plants grow, science is all about exploring the world around us.
Day 2: TECHNOLOGY
From how your favorite video games are made, or how does your smartphone know what you’re typing? That’s technology at work! Get ready to build and code robots and explore the digital universe.
Day 4: MATHEMATICS
Math can be tricky sometimes, but it’s the secret ingredient that makes everything in STEM come together! Whether you’re solving puzzles, cracking codes, or exploring shapes and patterns, math is all about unlocking the mysteries of the universe.
Day 3: ENGINEERING
If your child loves building with LEGO or creating epic forts out of anything they find around the house? Then engineering might just be their thing! Engineers design and build everything from bridges to roller coasters, using their imaginations to solve big problems.
Final Project: "STEM World Showcase"
The students will participate in a team challenge to bring the world of STEM all together! For the final project, students will work in teams to create a prototype that incorporates science, technology, engineering, and math! The final project will be presented and judged by a panel of teachers and instructors. Prizes will be given to the winning team.
STEM Robotics Projects Overview
These STEM robotics projects are designed to develop students’ problem-solving, creativity, and engineering skills through hands-on learning. Each project integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to build real-world applications. Students work collaboratively to design, build, and test functional systems.
