This program offers a unique opportunity to explore the direct connection between everyday fabrics and life-saving medical technologies through hands-on experiences at a leading university.
Campers will delve into the fascinating world where everyday fabrics meet cutting-edge medical technologies. Through hands-on lab experiences, students will investigate how chemistry, engineering, and technology are integrated to create high-performance textiles that enhance and safeguard human health. Activities include touring advanced facilities, conducting experiments to test and identify fibers, and participating in a team-based engineering design challenge focused on improving a real-world medical textile product. This program aims to ignite curiosity, build confidence in STEM fields, and provide a firsthand look at how textile science is shaping the future of healthcare.
A typical day involves exploring how chemistry, engineering, and technology combine to create high-performance fabrics, participating in hands-on lab experiences, and working on a team-based engineering design challenge.
This camp is ideal for middle and high school students interested in exploring the intersection of chemistry, engineering, and technology within the context of textile science and medical innovation.
