Do you ever wonder how machines work? Do you like to design or build things? If so, join us for a week of engineering challenges. We will explore various engineering fields, such as civil, biomedical, manufacturing, and environmental engineering. Activities may include designing road systems, recycling trucks, understanding arthroscopic techniques and the engineering involved in paint and building a battery. Let’s build knowledge by having fun and interacting with fellow camper-engineers. The world is changing daily, and engineering is the key for us to change. |
