The camp provides a unique perspective on the Engineering Design Process through new hands-on activities introduced each year.
The Wilson Engineering Camp for middle school students offers a week-long, hands-on experience where campers learn how engineers positively impact society through creative investigations and design challenges. The curriculum introduces new activities each year, all providing a unique perspective on the Engineering Design Process. Past activities have included designing earthquake-proof bridges and solar-powered boats. Students work in collaborative groups, fostering teamwork and problem-solving skills. The camp aims to connect engineering theory to practical applications, allowing students to experience engineering firsthand. It's an opportunity to explore various engineering fields and gain a deeper understanding of an engineer's role.
A typical day begins with students receiving a new engineering challenge and breaking into teams to work on the problem, with breaks for lunch and recess.
This camp is best for curious middle school students interested in hands-on activities and learning how engineers solve problems to help society.
