A week-long technology
camp for Bahamian students in grades 9-12,
accepted teens learned from highly qualified STEM
instructors, entrepreneurs and professionals from
the United States and the Bahamas. Students applied
this knowledge to developing technology solutions to
challenges facing their communities and their
country. On the final day of the camp, the students
presented their projects, along with detailed business
plans, to a panel of distinguished judges.
Since 2014, STEMBoard has delivered quality STEM programming to the Bahamas. Our students represent the best and brightest, who go on to pursue degrees in technical fields and found startups.
“Hack<IT> Bahamas 2015, in one word, was amazing. Approaching the camp, we didn’t really know what to expect. In fact, Charisma Clarke, our Chief Design Officer and fellow group member, recalls saying that he was ‘just along for the ride’. Little did we know, the camp was going to be such an innovative, engaging and life changing experience. In retrospect, Hack 2015 was an opportunity that simply couldn't be passed up. Firstly, the facilities chosen to host the camp and the materials use to engage the campers were wonderful.”
