Summary
A U.S. Army-run summer camp in Hanover, New Hampshire, engages nearly two dozen students in hands-on STEM activities, including building robotic cyborg hands, robots, and planes. The camp aims to make physics concepts like Newton's laws and engineering fun for young learners, with participants like 11-year-old Alexa Zaha working through complex assembly challenges.

· 3 pulledEleven-year-old Alexa Zaha was one of 21 students attending a U.S. Army-run camp in Hanover to help boost their skills in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM.
She was struggling to fit a yellow plastic piece inside a hole that seemed too small.
While some kids are hiking mountains and swimming in lakes, nearly two dozen students spent part of this week trying to turn 200 tiny plastic pieces, springs, and screws into robotic cyborg hands.
