Learn more about the 2024 Engineering Summer Camps!

The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is pleased to offer multiple sessions of engineering summer day camps for students in rising 5th through 10th grade. Changing the world is what engineers do - by solving problems with innovation and creativity, and by applying science and technology principles.

At UAH, our engineering summer camp programs are designed to introduce students to different engineering fields with classroom learning, hands-on projects, mentoring activities, tours, and much more. Participants will have a great time working with UAH faculty, staff, and current students as they explore engineering.
