ENGINEERING BOOTCAMP

Designed to be a hands-on and interactive experience, you’re invited to design, build, and test like a real engineer. Parents and students will work side-by-side exploring multiple engineering fields through engaging challenges and real equipment. The day will feature three immersive engineering workshops, including designing and machining your own tensile test sample on a CNC machine. A pizza lunch and guest speakers will be presented to all attendees.

Important: This event is intended to be a family experience. One parent or guardian must attend and participate with each student. Lab capacity limits attendance to one student and one parent/guardian per registration; additional guests or siblings cannot be accommodated.
