Have you always been fascinated by the world of science?
Does performing super interesting STEM experiments sound exciting to you?
Do five days of hanging out with peers from all over BiH through workshops, quizzes and board games sound like a great plan for the summer?
Then don't hesitate to apply for this year's STEM Youth Camp 2022, organised by the Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology BiH. Through this year's camp, explore the world of STEM and find out what it is like to be a scientist. Gain new knowledge and skills and make new friends.
“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” Marie Curie
MORE ABOUT THE CAMP
What awaits you?
At the camp you can learn about contemporary scientific and technical trends and gain insight into the experiences of our distinguished scientists who have worked or still work at prestigious institutions around the world. In addition, you will find out what it is like to pursue science professionally in academia or industry, and how your choice of university can help you get your career off to a good start. Through technical and soft-skills workshops you will test your creativity and interests and improve your problem-solving and teamwork skills.
Who can apply?
The camp is intended primarily for third- and fourth-year secondary school students, but excellent applications from students in lower years will also be considered. Don't let the limited number of places worry you; let it instead motivate you to write a strong application!
Where will the camp be held?
Accommodation and the complete programme of this year's camp will take place at the Garden City Hotel in Konjic. Transport, accommodation and all additional costs for excursions will be covered by the organisers for the selected participants.

How to apply?
Set aside enough time to fill in the application. Through the application we want to gain insight into your relationship with science and your participation in extracurricular activities. Tell us why you love science, how much and in what way you are interested in science, an interesting or everyday experience related to science, and what else you do, whether it is sport, music, volunteering or something else.
Please remember that you are not the only ones applying and that unfortunately we cannot accept all students, so invest time (a couple of days) in presenting yourself as well and as accurately as possible. What we want to know is what motivates you to be interested in science, how you have channelled that motivation (extracurricular activities, DIY projects, competitions...), what else you do besides that, and how you see yourself in the future.
