Indiana Tech Steam Academy

Indiana Tech is receiving a $500,000 grant from Lilly Endowment as part of the second phase of our Indiana Youth Programs on Campus (IYPC) program.

IYPC is a Lilly Endowment initiative designed to help Indiana colleges and universities in their efforts to create new or expand and enhance existing high-quality, on-campus programs for Hoosier youth, ages five through 18.

Indiana Tech previously received $1 million in the first round of IYPC funding in 2022 for our proposal, which helped establish the STEAM Academy. This new round of funding will extend support for the STEAM Academy over the next three years.

The STEAM Academy at Indiana Tech provides students with innovative youth programming and hands-on learning opportunities that will enhance their academic and creative strengths in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM).

Programs offered through STEAM Academy include:

Girls Tech Takeover
Middle School STEM Club
Robotic Warriors Club
Introductory Robotics Program
Build + Learn Middle School Camp
High School STEM Camp
Launch + Lead Camp
Creative Expression and Communication Camp
Examine + Explore Science Camp

The STEAM Academy’s year-round programming and summer camps are led by a team of dedicated faculty and staff collaborating to create world-class academic experiences for the next generation of Warriors.

You can learn more about STEAM Academy and its programs at indianatech.edu/steam.

The second round of IYPC funding was announced in the Fall of 2024, and Indiana Tech’s internal team, led by Academic Camp Director Caleb Hunter worked to successfully secure these funds to support students in the community.
