Engineering Camp

Engineering Camp

An immersive learning experience

Students (ages 14 to 15) are immersed in the engineering process through a week-long camp experience. Students interact with experienced engineering faculty, staff, and business leaders as they complete design challenges inspired by real-world scenarios, building an identity as aspiring engineers.

Camp Description Camp Ice-Breaker Example Camp Design Challenge Example
Engineering Camp Greenville

Engineering Camp (also known as Engineering Experience in the U.K.) brings students together once per year. GE volunteers and Next Engineers community partners lead students through short ice-breaker design activities, more in-depth design challenges, and a final capstone design challenge during a week of immersive engineering experiences. Students will also have opportunities for activities such as university campus tours, GE facility tours, GE volunteer mentorship, engaging engineer career panels, and more.

 

Engineering Camp aims to reach +200 students in each Next Engineers location every year. Engineering Camp is free. Food, transportation assistance, and lodging may be provided, depending on location. Visit your Location page to learn more about what is available in your area.

 

Engineering Camp/Experience applications are now open in Greenville, Cincinnati and Staffordshire.

 

Looking for more? Whether you live outside of our program locations or just can't get enough, Next Engineers: Challenge Yourself offers resources for at-home and in-class engineering exploration.

 

Impact

During Next Engineers Year 1, Engineering Camp reached 729 students. GE volunteers invested over 400 hours working with students, resulting in 88% of participants reporting that they would recommend Engineering Camp to others.
