In four different week-long summer camps, students in grades six through 12 learned about science and engineering from professors at the University of Arkansas. Middle and junior high school students got exposure to different STEM topics in Explore Engineering I, which took place June 20-24, and Explore Engineering II, which was July 11-15. High school students got hands-on experience with specific engineering disciplines in the Engineering Summer Academy during the week of July 24-30. During the first week of August, female students from Northwest Arkansas took part in Engineering Girl Camp.
This is the second year the College of Engineering has offered all of these summer programs. This year, the number of students taking part in Explore Engineering I and II and the Engineering Summer Academy more than doubled.
