Middle School Summer Engineering Program

Discover engineering.

At ±¬ÁϹ«Éç’s Engineering program for middle school students, you’ll explore how creativity and problem solving come together to design innovative solutions for the future. Take part in hands-on activities across aerospace, biotechnology, and robotics as you learn how engineering connects science, technology, and imagination to shape the world around us.

My ±¬ÁϹ«Éç experience was absolutely amazing. I learned a lot about engineering and what it means to be a leader.
