Students gain hands-on project experience, college credit from George Mason University, and insights into college-level engineering, demonstrating their passion for STEM.
The Envision Engineering & Technology Academy offers high school students an immersive, hands-on experience in various engineering disciplines. Participants engage in real-world engineering design challenges, utilizing Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to create 3D model rockets and programming microcontrollers for autonomous drones and rovers. The curriculum also includes building electrical circuits, similar to those found in electric vehicles, and exploring artificial intelligence neural networks. Students collaborate on team-based design projects, culminating in a program-long Capstone Impact Challenge. The program emphasizes the engineering design thinking process, prototyping, and gaining practical experience that enhances college applications. Beyond technical skills, students develop crucial leadership fundamentals, project management, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities through collaborative activities and expert speaker series featuring professionals from diverse engineering fields. The program aims to provide a clear vision for an engineering future and build confidence for college and career pathways.
A typical day involves morning design labs focused on creating 3D model rockets and building electric circuits, followed by afternoon programming sessions with model drones and exploring AI neural networks. Evenings are dedicated to bonding with peers, collaborating on team challenges, and reflecting on the day's learning.
This program is ideal for high school students interested in the diverse field of engineering, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, artificial intelligence, robotics, or civil engineering, with no prior experience required, just curiosity and a passion for STEM.
