Engineering Design Summer Camps
These camps, designed for those entering 10th through 12th grade in the fall of 2024, provide exposure to real-world problem solving and provide opportunities to learn design skills that are applicable to many fields of engineering.
Please be sure to check the grade levels associated with each camp, since not all camps are available for all grade levels.
Registration for these camps opens Friday, March 08th, 2024 at 10:00 am MST.
Sorry, unfortunately no rising 9th grade camps this summer.

* Sessions I, II, and III are the same camp, but offered multiple weeks.
This camp will introduce a tool to build and make parametric models of parts and assemblies. Learn with a computer-based tool, through a software program called SolidWorks™ by Dassault Systems, which allows for creative modelling and visualization. SolidWorks™ is an integral part of engineering design and/or problem solving. Students who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and math will enjoy this course, because it will guide them to support and improve their 3D design skills and make their conceptual ideas come to life. The software is very versatile and fun to use, you will be excited by the challenges you are given. The opportunity to become a Certified SolidWorks™ Associate (CSWA) will be given on the final day, this is an industry known certification.
