About this camp
Engage in hands-on engineering projects at the University of Illinois Chicago's STEM program in Chicago, IL. This day program for students aged 11-17 allows participants to experiment with various engineering fields, including computer code, robotics, and biomechanics. Learn about cutting-edge engineering careers directly from UIC faculty and graduate students. Older students receive college preparation tips and campus/lab tours. The program maintains small sub-groups (maximum 30 students) for focused learning and direct interaction with staff, which includes faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate chaperones. Develop critical thinking and engineering problem-solving skills through practical application.
