Throughout June and July, students can either gain STEM skills and earn digital microcredentials or explore the various engineering majors offered at UT Austin and participate in 2 engineering design challenges.
ON-CAMPUS: We still have openings in several of our one-day, on-campus day camps, and scholarships are available if needed. We are super excited about the experiences we've crafted! Collaborators across campus. "Career Conversation Luncheons" each day with STEM role models from industry. Campus/lab/program/museum/department tours based on the day's theme. Hands-on engineering design challenges.
