Who can attend?

Western New York students entering grades 6-7 are eligible to attend. We are especially interested in minority and underrepresented students to apply.  Acceptance to our camps does not depend on high achieving academics or prior knowledge. Students who show enthusiasm for engineering and the STEM fields all have an equal chance of acceptance. Maximum camp enrollment is 20 students.

Transportation is available for residents of the City of Buffalo; bus stops will be scheduled after there is a final camp roster.
