About PH STEM Camp
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower youth and communities through engaging and accessible STEM education, inspiring the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders.
Why PH STEM Camp?
PH STEM Camp was established to address the lack of accessible STEM opportunities in our community. By providing interactive and educational resources in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, we aim to ignite curiosity and foster a love for learning in youth. This annual camp offers the resources and experiences we wish we had growing up, making STEM education approachable and fun for everyone.

My name is Isaac Washington, and I am the creator of PH STEM Camp. I grew up in Putnam Hall, FL, and I am currently a Senior Civil Engineering student at the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL. My passion for STEM and my deep connection to this community inspired me to create a space where students can explore STEM fields in an engaging and supportive environment.
