Campers will explore how engineers help protect the environment during and after natural disasters. Using the engineering design process, campers will design, build, test, and improve hands-on projects focused on real-world challenges. Activities may include controlling floodwaters, designing earthquake-resistant structures, cleaning up oil spills, and experimenting with water filtration systems. This camp encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork while highlighting the important role engineering plays in protecting our planet.
