Welcome

We're so excited that you are interested in the Next Engineers: Engineering Camp!

On this page, we will walk you through the Camp/Experience application process. If you have any questions during your application, please reach out to your local contact, whose email is listed on each program location's webpage.

 

So that students can engage in in-depth, real-world engineering learning activities, Engineering Camp only accepts a limited number of students per year.

 

There are many ways to become an engineer. The application is an opportunity for you to share more about yourself and help us determine if the Engineering Camp is the right path for you. You can take a look at an example application here:
