It’s Time to Register for Engineering Summer Programs
Do you know a middle school, junior high or high school student who needs something to do this summer? The College of Engineering offers several summer camps for rising 6th through 12th graders. These camps offer hands-on learning experiences and give kids a chance to explore different engineering topics.
Explore Engineering Program I: For students entering the 6th and 7th grade, the college offers a week-long half day program that introduces engineering concepts through fun activities like experimenting with robotics, learning how to build a stereo speaker, and creating chemical slime. Students will spend the week participating in interactive labs and having tons of fun!
Explore Engineering Program II: Students entering the 8th and 9th grade can learn more about science and engineering through hands-on activities at a week-long half-day program. They'll make polymer balls and find out why they bounce, practice web programming skills, and learn about aerospace.
Engineering Summer Academy: The Engineering Summer Academy (ESA) program is a one-week residential engineering academy for rising 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. Students will live in a resident hall on the University of Arkansas campus.
This intensive summer academy challenges students to explore a specific area of engineering: solar energy (mechanical and electrical engineering), chemical engineering or computer science and computer engineering. Summer Academy students get to work in our state-of-the-art labs alongside university faculty and current students.
Worried about paying the program fee? No worries! We offer need-based scholarships to help participants overcome the financial burden.
