Students gain practical experience in applying STEM principles to real-world medical textile challenges, fostering both curiosity and confidence in a university setting.
The NC State MSEN Pre-College Program: The Science of Textiles camp offers middle and high school students an immersive experience in textile science. Participants will delve into how chemistry, engineering, and technology are integrated to create high-performance fabrics, particularly for medical applications. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory experiments where students test and identify fibers. Campers will also gain exposure to cutting-edge facilities at NC State University through guided tours. A significant component of the camp is a team-based engineering design challenge, where students work collaboratively to improve a real-world medical textile product. This experience aims to ignite curiosity in STEM fields, build confidence, and provide a firsthand look at the future of healthcare through textile innovation.
A typical day involves engaging in hands-on lab experiences, touring cutting-edge facilities, and collaborating on a team-based engineering design challenge.
This camp is ideal for current 6th through 11th-grade students interested in STEM, particularly those curious about how textiles intersect with chemistry, engineering, and medical technology.
