Each summer the University of Toledo Student American Chemical Society (UT StACS) hosts a STEMM summer camp for high school students. Students participate in STEMM-related industrial tours such as the Toledo Water Treatment Plant, Toledo Zoo, Perstorp Polyols, and BASF. Camp is a pre-professional level, providing students forums to learn resume building and interviewing skills. Students also analyze real world samples during the lab and lecture series, and give oral presentations of results. The lab and lecture series incorporates general chemistry other and fundamental lab experiments to gain a first-hand look at college courses. UT StACS coordinates projects on campus for the students to participate in STEMM-related activities such as a CSI day, a scavenger hunt, a round table with college students and professors, department tours and labs, and a glass blowing workshop. This camp is unique in that it is the only one in this region that is held for students by students.
