SEE UA! camp at the University of Akron is an engaging one week residential summer camp for girls in the ninth through twelfth grades that immerses the girls into mechanical, electrical, biomedical, civil, chemical, and mechanical polymer engineering. This camp will be held from June 13th through June 18th, 2010. Each day is comprised of fun-filled hands-on engineering activities in the morning led by our talented faculty, followed by dynamic tours of local engineering firms and then campus-wide activities in the evening. The students also spend the week working as a team on a engineering design project and competing against other student teams at the end of the week. Students live in residence housing located on campus and can experience the life of a college student while exploring various engineering disciplines available at the University of Akron. Even the resident assistants are upper-class engineering students.
