This program offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of textile science, engineering, and medical innovation through hands-on challenges and facility tours at NC State University.
The NC-MSEN Pre-College Program Summer Scholars Camp: The Science of Textiles, in partnership with the NC State Wilson College of Textiles, invites students to delve into the fascinating world where everyday fabrics meet groundbreaking medical technologies. Campers will investigate how chemistry, engineering, and technology converge to create high-performance fabrics that enhance and safeguard human health. Participants will gain hands-on experience through lab activities focused on testing and identifying fibers. The program also includes tours of cutting-edge facilities and culminates in a team-based engineering design challenge where campers work to improve a real-world medical textile product. This immersive experience aims to ignite curiosity, build confidence in STEM fields, and provide a firsthand look at how textile science is shaping the future of healthcare.
A typical day involves exploring the connection between everyday fabrics and medical technologies, participating in hands-on lab experiences to test fibers, and working on a team-based engineering design challenge.
This camp is ideal for current 6th through 11th-grade students interested in STEM, particularly those curious about how textile science, chemistry, and engineering contribute to medical innovations.
