Engineering Exploration

This camp is designed for students who are new to our summer camps and engineering concepts. Different types of engineering are introduced in a hands-on manner. Students will spend each day doing labs and activities designed to get them thinking like engineers. For example, students will build Edison Light Bulbs with mason jars, graphite, and batteries. Students will be encouraged to actively participate and be hands-on in this camp. Students will also be encouraged to ask questions to ensure their understanding of the material. Instructors will model concepts and ideas as needed by the students. The course will be administered over five days, Monday through Friday, all day on the campus of Oakland University. Student success will be heavily dependent upon their commitment to excellence while in class. Students from 3rd grade to 12th grade are welcome to attend this camp.

In this camp, students will:

• Be exposed to different types of Engineering concepts and careers.
• Complete hands-on labs and activities that involve math, science, engineering and technology.
