UMass Lowell's DESIGNCAMP is a summer science and engineering enrichment program that offers a wide range of project-based workshops for students in grades 5 to 10*. If you like to invent things, do experiments, build things, and figure out how things work, then this is the place for you!

At DESIGNCAMP, you get to think of your own ideas and build them. All of our programs engage kids in interesting and challenging projects. If you come to camp, you could learn how to design a security system for your bedroom, build a hot air balloon, program a search-and-rescue robot, build a PVC pipe submarine, or design your own stereo speakers--and those are only a few of the cool projects we do at DESIGNCAMP!

DESIGNCAMP is a challenging and creative program developed and taught by an outstanding team of experienced science and technology teachers who have specialized in teaching engineering design to kids. We are talking about a totally hands-on learning experience that will involve you in the real work of scientists and engineers: design, exploration, experimentation and invention!

Each workshop is built around a series of design projects, interesting STEM activities and problems to solve.
