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
- 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 you 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 science activities and problems to solve. All workshops include tours of UMass Lowell’s engineering laboratories. You might get to see how Frisbees are made, how baseball bats are tested, how electric cars work, or how to control a computer using your mind.
* This is the grade you are completing in the current school year. You must have completed the fifth grade to attend DESIGNCAMP.
