This free, two-week camp provides hands-on exploration of diverse engineering fields and computer science at a top university, with priority given to students from affiliated schools and programs.
The USC Viterbi - Northrop Grumman Summer Engineering Camp offers middle school students (rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders) an immersive, hands-on experience in various engineering disciplines. Participants will engage in activities such as building rockets to explore aerospace engineering, constructing circuits for electrical engineering, designing bridges for civil engineering, and programming robots for mechanical engineering. The curriculum also includes an introduction to computer science, where students learn coding and app development. The camp aims to expose students to specific engineering fields, increase their knowledge, and foster their enthusiasm for STEM through practical projects and collaborative group work. It serves to build confidence and inspire students, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, to pursue future studies and careers in STEM.
A typical day involves hands-on projects and group activities exploring different engineering disciplines, with demonstrations and lessons led by industry professionals and USC students.
This camp is best for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students with at least a B average in science and math who are eager to explore various engineering fields and computer science through hands-on activities.
