NC State University-College of Engineering

The Engineering Place at NC State University offers engaging, hands-on summer engineering camps designed for students from rising K through 12th grade. These programs provide a stimulating environment for students who enjoy problem-solving and tactile learning, offering both Day Camps for younger students (K-10) and Residential Camps for high schoolers (11-12). The curriculum focuses on practical applications, such as investigating renewable energy and designing sustainable solutions, which can help students with diverse learning styles connect academic concepts to real-world impact.

With 30 different camp sessions to choose from, students can explore specialized fields including Biomedical, Aerospace, and Materials Science Engineering. The camp's hands-on approach is ideal for students who benefit from kinesthetic learning and structured, project-based activities. These sessions allow participants to work with their hands, build physical models, and engage in collaborative scientific inquiry.

NC State University's programs are ACA accredited, ensuring a high standard of safety and quality. Financial assistance is available to help make these educational opportunities accessible to more families. Because many sessions fill up quickly, interested families are encouraged to review the wide variety of topics on the website and register early.
