Free Data Detectives STEM Camp
The CDC proposes the NCHS Data Detectives Camp to engage middle school-aged children and their supporters (parents, teachers, counselors) in math and science.

If you apply or help a child apply, CDC estimates time costs: parent application 15 minutes, student application 30 minutes, teacher recommendation 30 minutes, registration 30 minutes for 120 accepted parents, and parent/student evaluations 10 minutes each. CDC estimates a total of 1,100 annualized burden hours for one annual cycle (up to four camps).
