These Day Camps are a partnership between Chevron’s C.R.E.A.T.E. program and the Bagley College of Engineering. Using legos and hands-on materials, participants will explore engineering and STEM concepts through a unique mind and hands-on experience. Each session will rely on the principles of the Engineering Design Process as presented in an engaging forum.

Applications will not be reviewed until application fee (nonrefundable) is paid and all required documents are turned in.

Important Notes:

Each course has very limited space and will fill quickly. We must receive your completed application & application fee to be considered for admittance.
If the program fills before all of your information is received, you will be put on a waiting list.
