This free, two-week in-person camp provides hands-on exploration of diverse engineering fields and computer science at a major university.
The Northrop Grumman Summer Engineering Camp at USC offers middle school students (rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders) an immersive two-week experience in various engineering disciplines. Participants engage in hands-on activities that explore aerospace, civil, electrical, environmental, and mechanical engineering. Students will gain practical skills by building rockets, circuits, and bridges, and by programming robots. The curriculum also introduces computer science concepts, including coding and app development. This camp aims to increase students' knowledge of specific engineering fields and foster an interest in STEM through active engagement and project-based learning.
A typical day involves hands-on activities and projects related to different engineering fields, such as building rockets, circuits, bridges, and robots, along with learning computer science concepts like coding and app development.
This camp is ideal for middle school students who enjoy science and math, like building things, and are curious about different engineering fields.
