The University of Texas at Tyler will hold the Discover Science Summer Camp for students in grades 6 – 8 July 23 – 27.

The camp will include exposure to chemistry, physics and mathematics through the use of forensics, green science and aerospace science.

Christina Ragain (ray-gin), UT Tyler chemistry lecturer, will direct the camp.

“This is a unique opportunity for these students to visit UT Tyler and participate in a week-long science enrichment program,” Ragain said.
