The camp provides middle school girls with practical, hands-on experience across multiple engineering disciplines, fostering confidence and interest in STEM fields.
The GCU Design, Build, Inspire: Girls in Engineering camp offers middle school girls a hands-on exploration into various engineering disciplines. Participants engage in practical activities such as designing and testing bridges made of ice-pop sticks, learning about mechanical engineering principles like load efficiency. The camp also delves into electrical engineering, where students construct LED nightlights using breadboards to understand electronic circuits. Additionally, biomedical engineering is introduced through projects like creating a tendon-driven prosthetic finger. The program aims to build confidence in young girls and expose them to the exciting world of STEM, encouraging them to consider future careers in engineering by providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
A typical day focuses on a different engineering discipline, involving hands-on projects like building bridges, creating LED nightlights, or constructing a prosthetic finger.
This camp is best for middle school girls interested in exploring different fields of engineering through engaging, hands-on projects.
