GROW & EXCITE for 2024 have been canceled.

The GROW & EXCITE Summer Workshop is a 3-day program from June 5 - June 7, 2024 designed to encourage and inspire middle and high school students to pursue a future in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Students will have the chance to connect with and learn from K-State faculty, staff and students who will host a variety of activities that relate to their STEM field/profession. KAWSE will also plan events during the evenings and down times that highlight life as a Wildcat. Students will stay overnight in the residence halls and eat at the dining facilities, all while experiencing what it's like to attend K-State and meeting other students who share similar interests.

GROW: is open to students who will finish grades 5, 6, or 7 in May 2024 

EXCITE: is open to students who will finish grades 8, 9, 10, or 11 in May 2024 

Your registration cost includes a 2-night stay in residence halls on the K-State campus; all meals from lunch on Wednesday to lunch on Friday; snacks; camp swag; and all materials needed to participate in activities. 

The GROW & EXCITE Summer Workshops are hosted by KAWSE, the K-State Office for the Advancement of Women in Science and Engineering. The mission of KAWSE is to enrich the lives of women and girls in STEM. Students of all genders are welcome to participate.
