Middle school students explore hands-on chemistry at Creighton University summer camp

(KMTV) — BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:Middle school students are spending part of their summer break at Creighton University, doing hands-on chemistry experiments and building skills they could apply towards future endeavors in STEM. Eric Villa, the Creighton University chemistry professor who runs the program, said the goal is to make learning more engaging. Creighton students are also helping guide the young scientists through the program. She also draws on her own experience with a similar Creighton program. For the campers, the biggest takeaway may be learning how to see chemistry — and science — in the world around them.
