    Engineering Adventures Camp (Ages 15-17) July 6th-10th

    From creating clean water solutions and designing transportation systems, to building sustainable communities and advancing aviation, engineering in our local community plays a vital role in solving the challenges of our time. This camp offers a dynamic experience that combines hands-on activities, engaging lectures, field trips, and a unique exploration of how engineering is integrated into aspects of university life and beyond.

    Here’s what campers can look forward to:
    • Hands-on engineering projects: Tackle real-world challenges, such as designing a water filtration system or creating aerodynamic rockets. Each activity emphasizes problem-solving, creativity, and practical skills.
    • Focused learning sessions: jump into various engineering fields like environmental, civil, and mechanical engineering through interactive lectures led by university faculty and professionals. Discover how these disciplines work together to tackle the world’s biggest problems.
    • Exciting field trips: Step beyond the classroom to visit sites where engineering in our own backyard comes to life, and learn how engineering plays an integral role in enhancing quality of life and addressing societal challenges through infrastructure development, healthcare advancements, and sustainable solutions.
    This camp for high school students provides an immersive and inspiring look at how engineering touches every corner of our lives, from the university campus to the skies above and even to the luxury spaces we enjoy. Perfect for curious minds ready to explore and innovate, this camp offers a one-of-a-kind experience that will spark a passion for engineering and problem-solving!
