The Engineering Place (K-20 Outreach)

Introduction

In 2012, the NC State College of Engineering will offer week-long summer day camps for elementary school students in Raleigh, Rocky Mount, and Hickory, NC. The camps will be led by elementary school teachers in partnership with NC State engineering students and staff. During the camp, students will experience engineering through hands-on, creative investigations and design activities. The goal of the camp is to show students what engineering is all about and to expose them to the fact that "engineers' work" is all around them. New activities will be introduced in 2012. Past activities have included rocket design, egg drops and more.
