For the past eighteen years, the Society of Women Engineers at Texas
A&M University has hosted a week-long summer camp for middle school
girls to showcase the many opportunities available in the fields
of engineering and science. Through field trips, tours of laboratory
facilities, team building activities, and presentations from leading
researchers & industry leaders, the girls will come to know that
engineering isn’t just old men spending long hours in an office, but a
vibrant career option that can take them from working for a cosmetics
company designing the next top perfume to outer space. The camp is
organized and led by active members in the Society of Women Engineers.
These young women provide the campers with a female role model who is
pursuing a degree in engineering. Fun-packed days showcase both
applications of engineering and facets of Aggie life. SWE believes that
this is the perfect age to introduce girls to engineering. This program
gives them the opportunity to plan to take classes in high school that
will help them succeed in college as an engineer. Also, campers have an
early start to search for real-life exposure that companies offer.
Wanna be a summer camp counselor? Applications coming in spring.
