Do you know what the world would look like if we could use superconductors in everyday life? Superconductors can make hoverboards, flying cars, and quantum computers possible...

... the only problem is that known superconductors only work near absolute zero which is -460 degrees Fahrenheit! We need young investigators like you to crack the secrets behind the quantum world of superconductors by creating measurement tools, studying the technologies behind manufacturing quantum computers, and even building a track for superconducting levitators.

Space is Limited! Early registration is recommended. Campers will be registered on a first-come, first-served basis, based upon date of registration and when payment is received. Waiting lists will be maintained and filled in the order that they were received should cancellations occur.

Camp activities include:

  • Learning basics of electrical circuits, superconductors, and quantum computers
  • Building a measurement tool to detect superconducting transition at -320F
  • Build a magnet track for the superconducting levitator
  • Fabricating nano-scale thin superconducting film and micro-scale lithography

Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri. USA Express provides shuttle service from St. Louis Lambert Airport to Rolla. You can contact USA Express by calling 1-800-872-9399 or visiting their website at https://www.usaxonline.com/. If you are having challenges arranging transportation, please contact the STEM Center for additional assistance.

All camps will have a $50 non-refundable fee. Persons wishing to cancel their registration must do so two weeks (14 full days) prior to the first day of their chosen program. No refunds will be made after this date.

Missouri S&T reserves the right to cancel any program in the event of insufficient registrations, severe weather or natural disaster. In the event of cancellation, registrants will be notified immediately via email and phone, and all fees will be returned in full.
