The fee is $25 and includes an Arduino STEM kit to take home and a daily snack. Campers will need to bring a sack lunch each day. <br> \u201cDiscover how amazing nature and technology can be when they work together,\u201d said Mandy Kern, program specialist at the KWEC. <br> \u201cCampers will be immersed in field biology, including aquatic studies, mammal trapping, plant and animal identification at Cheyenne Bottoms, which is the largest inland marsh in North America and a Ramsar designated wetland of international importance,\u201d she said. <br> Participants will also learn how computer science can play a role in wildlife by learning how to program using Arduino and Scratch, drones, GPS and GIS. Campers will have the opportunity to build and use smart phone apps. <br> The KWEC, 592 NE K-156 Highway, is at the southeast side of Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area, northeast of Great Bend. <br> The camp is limited to 20 campers. <br> To register, call 1-877-243-9268.
