The Science in the City ("SITC") is a week-long summer day camp typically at Stanford University for incoming 5th and 6th grade underrepresented students of color. SITC was created through a joint partnership with Stanford University Graduate School of Education's Science in the City Research Group and The Social Engineering Project, Inc. Approximately 50 students are exposed to hands-on, culturally relevant, chemistry, physics, and engineering experiments to spark an interest in STEM-related courses throughout high school and college. SITC's goal is for students to fall in love with STEM, go to college, major in a STEM-related major, and work in the technology sector.
