This is a summer science enrichment program for middle school students sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and the Wisconsin Academy of Science, Arts and Letters. There are six one-week Science World camping sessions designed to build on student interest in science. Students are nominated by their science teachers and are selected on the basis of interest, success, and potential in science. While in camp, students participate in a variety of science activities and interact with visiting scientists and technologists from universities, businesses, and industry.
Wisconsin Mathematics League
A seventh and eighth grade mathematics contest is sponsored each year by the Wisconsin Mathematics League. Mathematics teachers invite middle school students to participate in the statewide contest each spring. Certificates of merit are awarded to the highest scoring students for each school. Additional awards are given to the highest scoring schools on a regional level. Feedback on the student's work helps stimulate interest and individual effort in mathematics activities.
