| The following camp directory lists some of the summer camps for K-12 students in engineering throughout the United States and Canada that are and were previously offered. The directory lists camps that have been hosted by Universities and research centers in the past. Please note that all camps may not be offered every year and that new camps and programs are currently being added. Old or unsuccessful programs are always being eliminated or modified. A substantial number of programs specifically target minorities, women, and other groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. The programs offered change frequently, and this database is not comprehensive. This is only meant to be a guide to aid your search for engineering education preparation tools. Many of the programs offer scholarships and may have application deadlines as early as January. If you are interested in a program, please email, call or write the organization listed for an application and the most current information available.

Pre-Freshman Academy
The Pre-Freshman Academy is a two week enrichment program designed to increase the mathematics literacy and proficiency of the participating Pre-Freshman student. A further aim is to increase student academic success in the pursuit of a Bachelor of Science Degree in a Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) area. Participating students will engage in the manipulation of mathematical concepts and methods for solving problems that are encountered in STEM areas. Students will interpret algebraic concepts and use these concepts to analyze data obtained in a science laboratory setting. Additionally, study skills that are vital to success in STEM areas will be highlighted. The program is limited to 50 applicants. Participants must plan to enroll as a student at GSU during Fall 2008 semester and major in a science or mathematics area.
