Run on the Wind youth camp a success

TTU's National Wind Institute co-hosted (with TTU-IDEAL) the 2015 Run on the Wind summer camp, a camp that is focused on reaching underserved students to encourage STEM* participation. More than 40 students in 7th and 8th grades signed up, each student from a community within an approximately 75 mile radius around the city of the Lubbock.

Congratulations to campers for completing all the projects, and thanks to all who were involved in making this camp a success.

* STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
