The MGC Summer Camp provides a unique opportunity for young women to gain real-world laboratory experience and connect with a diverse network of STEM professionals, fostering confidence and a clear pathway to higher education and careers in science.
The Microbiology Girls Club (MGC) Summer Camp is a six-week immersive program for high school girls in grades 7-12, designed to transform them into budding scientists. Participants engage in hands-on laboratory research, utilizing lab coats, pipettes, and microscopes to conduct real lab science. Activities include inoculating bacteria into various media for biochemical analysis, identifying unknown bacteria through examining color and consistency changes, and employing differential staining techniques and bright field microscopy. Beyond the lab, the program connects students with professional women mentors in STEM fields, offering exposure to diverse careers in ecology, engineering, marine science, and medicine. The camp also incorporates financial literacy workshops, college preparedness, entrepreneurship, mental health, social media branding, artificial intelligence, and physical wellness activities like dance, stretching, yoga, volleyball, lacrosse, ballet, salsa, Tai-Chi, and self-defense. The program culminates in a research poster presentation and awards luncheon.
Each weekday, participants work in an undergraduate microbiology laboratory from 10 a.m. to noon, followed by catered lunch with Zoom conversations with professional women in STEM fields, and afternoons filled with various workshops and physical activities.
This program is best for high school girls in grades 7-12 who are curious about science and ready to explore STEM careers through hands-on research and mentorship.
