Students gain practical experience with industry-standard engineering tools and the full design process, guided by university faculty, while immersing themselves in college life.
This immersive engineering summer camp at Biola University offers high school students a hands-on, college-level project-based learning experience. Participants will learn directly from Biola engineering faculty as they design and build a working automaton. Students will gain proficiency in industry-standard tools such as SolidWorks for design, and then utilize 3D printers and laser cutters for prototyping and bringing their ideas to life. The curriculum emphasizes the application of the Engineering Design Process from concept to completion. Beyond technical skills, campers will also experience authentic college life by staying in residence halls, dining in the campus cafeteria, and participating in fun on-campus activities and local excursions.
A typical day for overnight campers includes breakfast, followed by sessions focused on SolidWorks assembly, physical assembly, and lessons on tolerancing, motors, gears, and control boards. After lunch, students engage in final project manufacturing, with breaks throughout the afternoon, and dinner followed by evening activities or trips.
This camp is ideal for high school students (grades 9-12) interested in engineering, whether they are beginners or have prior experience, who want to design and build a working automaton using industry-standard tools and experience college life.
