about the camp
CAMP OUTLINE
This camp is a highly engaging, completely beginner-friendly introduction to the principles and subfields of electrical engineering, as well as its close counterpart, computer engineering.
Each day, multiple lessons along with hands-on activities will be taught, culminating into a final project for any given topic. These activities include anything from designing and programming games to building physical circuits, power systems, and even robots.
By the end of this camp, students will be able to successfully build their own electronics, code their own programs, and have a deep understanding of the engineering mindset.

about the camp
CAMP OUTLINE
This camp is an interactive and hands-on introduction to the core principles and real-world applications of mechanical and civil engineering.
​
Throughout the week, students will explore key engineering concepts through structured lessons and guided projects ranging from building mechanical systems and understanding motion and force to designing stable structures and simulating real world infrastructure. They will work with tools, materials, and utilize the drafting processes used by professional engineers, applying creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving throughout each activity.
​
By the end of the camp, students will be able to design, construct, and explain their own mechanical devices and structures, as well as having a deep understanding of the function and mechanisms of real world infrastructure, while developing a strong foundation in engineering principles and collaborative design.
