Summer Camps
Spend your summer opening up a world of opportunities available through STEM.
Next Level Basketball STEM Camp
This unique camp merges elite basketball training with hands-on STEM education. Students learn biomechanics, coding logic, and data science using wearable tech and the AI-powered XOver Trainer App. Each day blends physical drills with interactive tech sessions, culminating in a team competition where participants design and present custom movement-tracking exercises. With mentorship from certified coaches and access to University of Houston resources, students gain both athletic skills and real-world STEM experience. This camp empowers youth to see themselves as future engineers, innovators, and leaders - on and off the court.
