| 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.

Johns Hopkins University, Whiting School of Engineering
Engineering Innovation, Albuquerque Academy
Learn to think and problem-solve like an engineer while earning Johns Hopkins University credit. Through Engineering Innovation, high school students put engineering concepts to the test. Applying their knowledge of math and science to labs and hands-on projects, concepts they’ve learned in their high school classrooms are suddenly linked to real-world practice. Students’ confidence grows as they attend college-level lectures, tackle problems, test theories, and ultimately learn to think like engineers.

Freshmen Summer Bridge Program (FSBP)
The Freshmen Summer Bridge Program (FSBP) is a cost free residential program for incoming freshmen to the University of New Mexico (UNM), thus participants must be admitted to UNM for the fall 2010 semester and must have declared a course of study in a discipline of science, engineering, technology or mathematics (STEM). This is an intensive four week program which focuses on enhancing the participants academic skills for success thus mathematics and English are core components. FSBP targets the underrepresented ethnic minority population however invites applicants from all students. FSBP begins on June 6, 2010 and ends on July 1, 2010.
