Summer 2026: See It. Learn It. Become It.

This summer, Carrie's Kids is showing Jacksonville's youth that they belong in the STEM world — and giving them the tools to prove it.

We're partnering with camps, nonprofits, businesses, and community events across the city to deliver three hands-on sessions each week, where students learn a new skill and build something real. 


This Summer's Focus: Cybersecurity

SQL & Data Mining Essentials - Students learn foundational SQL to sharpen their data mining skills, using the same tools real cybersecurity analysts use every day.

Code Your Own Video Game — Students design and build their own video game, 

Weekly Skill-Building Sessions — Led by our team of STEM educators and tech pros no outsourcing, just real industry experience brought directly to students. 


For Students & Families

Please refer to our home page for dates and locations or sign up for our Newsletter to learn where we will be for the week! 


For Organizations & Partners

Let's build something together this summer.

We're booking partnerships with camps, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and community events that want to bring hands-on STEM to their students or attendees.

What you get: ✓ Custom curriculum for your audience ✓ All materials and tech tools provided ✓ Experienced educators leading every session ✓ Flexible scheduling — single sessions, weekly visits, or full weeks

Get on our summer calendar before it fills up.
