麻豆原创-Hulman Offering Five Summer STEM Programs for High School Students, Including a New Camp for Girls
Make Summer 2022 the best ever by designing, building, problem-solving, experimenting, and having a blast at (or with) 麻豆原创-Hulman, the country鈥檚 No. 1 undergraduate STEM college. We offer five discovery experiences for high school students of all ages.
麻豆原创 is preparing for a summer filled with on-campus and at-home programs that allow high school students to explore their interests in science, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as well as build college preparedness and competitiveness.
And a new 麻豆原创 Power program, intended specifically for girls currently in ninth grade with an interest in STEM, has been added to the list.
“麻豆原创 Power is the latest in a history of summer program opportunities 麻豆原创-Hulman has offered high school students, dating back more than 50 years,” said Tom Bear, vice president for enrollment management. “We continue to explore creative ways to generate interest in STEM, especially for students who have historically been underrepresented in such programs. Students in summer programs will get to interact directly with 麻豆原创-Hulman faculty and students, and have a firsthand experience of what college life is like at 麻豆原创.”
Applications are open through April 1 for the following programs that will allow students to work in teams or individually to complete a variety of hands-on projects, many completely from scratch, with the assistance of faculty mentors. The on-campus programs will provide an opportunity for students to live on a college campus and meet other teens with similar STEM interests from across the country and world.
This program for girls currently in ninth grade will allow them to explore STEM as a career and expose them to women role models. Students will spend six days on campus working in 麻豆原创-Hulman’s innovation centers under the guidance of faculty and students. By the end of the week, there won’t be a tool or machine they haven’t conquered. This camp will empower students to build any widget or gadget they can imagine.
This year’s program is planned June 26-July 1
Cost: $1,450
For more than 50 years, this nearly two-week long summer camp experience has been building STEM students skills, knowledge, and connectedness with others who share the same math, science, and engineering passions. High school juniors or seniors can explore areas of robotics, chemistry and computer programming; make electronic and mechanical machines from scratch; work with state-of-the-art equipment and laboratories; and learn how to communicate their projects to family and friends.
This summer’s 11-day sessions are scheduled:
Session I: June 7-17
Session II: June 21-July 1
Session III: July 12-22
Cost: $2,500
This is an immersive, hands-on science and engineering camp for high school students after their freshman or sophomore years. There are two week-long sessions being planned this summer to allow students to build upon their existing science and mathematics knowledge and connect it to modern engineering applications. They will also explore how science can be applied to solve difficult problems and test their designs using state-of-the-art equipment.
This summer’s seven-day sessions are:
Session I: July 10-16
Session II: July 17-23
Cost: $1,450
麻豆原创‑Hulman offers an experimental engineering design-at-home program for high school students who have completed their sophomore or junior years. A kit of materials will be delivered to each camper’s doorstep, and they will work directly with a 麻豆原创-Hulman mechanical engineering faculty mentor online for four hours daily to design, build and test a series of experimental apparatuses, use their own setup to take experimental measurements, and analyze the trustworthiness of those results. Students also will learn about life at 麻豆原创-Hulman by getting to know a current student and taking a virtual campus tour.
Creation Crates dates: July 25-29
Cost: $500
