The camp offers a fresh curriculum each year, ensuring new and engaging hands-on activities that provide a unique perspective on the Engineering Design Process.
The NC State University Imagine Engineering Camp offers middle schoolers a dynamic, hands-on experience in engineering. Campers work in collaborative groups to tackle creative investigations and design challenges, gaining a unique perspective on the Engineering Design Process. Activities are refreshed annually, with past projects including designing earthquake-proof bridges, building solar-powered boats, SNAP programming, and making nitrogen ice cream. The program emphasizes problem-solving skills, teamwork, and critical thinking as students explore how engineers contribute to society. Participants will engage in a new engineering challenge each morning, working in small teams to investigate problems and develop solutions. The camp aims to inspire curiosity and build foundational skills, providing a glimpse into diverse engineering fields and related career opportunities.
A typical day begins at 9 a.m. with a new engineering challenge, followed by students splitting into small teams to investigate and solve the problem through hands-on design work. The day includes breaks and outdoor time, concluding with students presenting their tested and improved designs.
This camp is ideal for middle school students who are curious about engineering, enjoy solving problems, and thrive in collaborative, hands-on learning environments.
