Camps for K-12 Students
UB Engineering Design Camp
Interested in taking apart toys and other products to see how they work? How about using 3-D printers to make something?
About the event
Each summer, UB offers an Engineering Design Camp sponsored by Northrop Grumman, where participants:
- “Tear down” products to learn what’s inside
- Program and use robots
- Design and build using 3-D printers
- Explore advanced manufacturing through field trips and team-based activities
Activities are guided by faculty and students in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and each student receives a certificate at the completion of the program.
Who can attend
High school students entering grades 9-11 (classes of 2020, 2021, 2022) are eligible to apply for the camp. Students should have strong science and mathematical ability, and an interest in a career in STEM.
We are especially interested in students from groups that are underrepresented in STEM professions.
Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis until the registration cap of 24 students is reached.
Event sponsors
Engineering Design Camp is sponsored by UB's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Northrop Grumman.
