Overview
This program invites middle school students to gain leadership skills, learn about various science disciplines, and create a scientific resource or community action project under the guidance of a mentor during Frost Science camps. With the assistance of a mentor, CITs will develop a science-based activity for Frost Science campers, aligning to the theme of the week or to a science topic of interest to the CIT. At the end of the week, CIT’s will lead and facilitate the activity they developed to a group of campers.
The CIT program is designed for kids aged 12-15 to:
- Explore interests in science
- Build resumes with experience at a science museum
- Become young leaders in STEM
- Gain community service hours and a recommendation letter for their time as a CIT
