As a result of COVID-19, various forms of education and teaching are moving online. However, the notion of an online STEM camp is still in its beginnings, and there is little relevant research and experience in this context. At the beginning of April 2021, the research team launched an online STEM charity camp with the theme of "Shen Nong Tastes Herbs." Participants included 113 third- and fourth-grade primary school students ranging from 8 to 12 years of age from four schools in Karamay, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region with weak educational capabilities. The camp lasted for 3 days and included 7 activities, while remote teaching was accomplished through . Pre- and post-test questionnaires and interviews were used to explore the impact of this camp on students. We found that online STEM camps could improve students' self-efficacy, computational thinking, and task value, and there is a significant improvement in the self-efficacy ( = 0.000) and task value ( = 0.001) dimensions. In addition, students with high self-efficacy had higher scores in the other two dimensions. Finally, we summarized the experiences and gains of students and teachers and proposed suggestions for developing online camps based on this experience. [Table: see text].

由于新冠疫情，各种形式的教育教学都在向线上转移。然而，在线科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）夏令营的概念仍处于起步阶段，在这方面相关研究和经验较少。2021年4月初，研究团队开展了以“神农尝百草”为主题的在线STEM公益夏令营。参与者包括来自新疆维吾尔自治区克拉玛依市四所教育资源薄弱学校的113名8至12岁的三、四年级小学生。夏令营为期3天，包含7项活动，远程教学通过……完成。通过前后测问卷和访谈来探究此次夏令营对学生的影响。我们发现，在线STEM夏令营可以提高学生的自我效能感、计算思维和任务价值，且在自我效能感（=0.000）和任务价值（=0.001）维度有显著提升。此外，自我效能感高的学生在其他两个维度得分也更高。最后，我们总结了学生和教师的经验与收获，并基于此经验对开展在线夏令营提出了建议。[表格：见正文]
