Floral STEM Lab™ NJ Summer Camp at Rutgers | STEM, Flowers & Design

Floral STEM Lab™ at Rutgers is a hands-on summer enrichment experience for students who love science, creativity, nature, design, and making things with their hands.

Created by AVS Events & Floral Art Institute, this program introduces students to the exciting connection between STEM, floral design, sustainability, creative problem-solving, and entrepreneurship.

Students will explore flowers and plants not just as beautiful materials, but as living systems connected to biology, structure, color, sustainability, design, and business.
