Hi guys! I'm looking for summer engineering programs specifically geared towards high school students. Can anyone recommend any good programs to help me explore engineering opportunities and improve my skills?
Hi! It's awesome that you're interested in exploring engineering opportunities as a high school student. There are several summer programs that you might find helpful in building your engineering skills and exploring your interests.
First, consider checking out the Summer Engineering Exploration Camp (SEE Camp) at the University of Michigan. This program is designed for high school students and offers exposure to various engineering fields through hands-on projects, presentations, and lab tours.
Another option is the Engineering Summer Academy at Penn (ESAP), which is a three-week program at the University of Pennsylvania. ESAP offers a range of courses, such as robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology, allowing you to dive into specific engineering topics.
Lastly, take a look at the Engineering Innovation program offered by Johns Hopkins University. This is a four-week program that emphasizes hands-on learning experiences in a range of engineering fields.
There are many other programs out there, but these three should give you a good starting point. I recommend doing some research on these and other programs to find one that best matches your interests, location, and budget.
