Students participated in a catapult-building competition during the University of Washington’s annual science, math, technology and engineering (STEM) camp on Thursday.
The camp, which is open to any students entering grades 9-12 in the upcoming school year, has been held at W.F. West High School for nearly a decade thanks to a partnership between the Chehalis Foundation and the University of Washington.
In total, 72 kids from districts across the region, including Centralia, Chehalis, Napavine, Rochester and Aberdeen, registered for this year’s STEM Camp.
The first two days of the four-day camp were dedicated to health care simulation training, where students got hands-on experience with medical dummies and other simulation equipment.
