Summer programs at the NC State College of Engineering provide participants a chance to experience how engineers help society through hands-on investigations and design challenges at our state’s flagship college of engineering. Day camp challenges are updated each year; previous challenges have included designing solar cities, water slides, rockets, heart valves, and more. Residential camp programming is designed and presented by faculty, students, and staff in the College of Engineering.
