Engineering Camps
Do you like math and science, interested in how things work, enjoy problem solving and like working with a team of people?
If so, you might be a future engineer. From defense and infrastructure to telecommunications and consumer electronics, engineers make the world a better place. An engineering degree can also open doors to careers in business, law and medicine. The options are limited by only your imagination!
The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering wants to expose high school students to the world of engineering through our summer camps. The camps will be conducted by faculty, staff and students from the college who will ensure students receive a broad overview of the engineering profession by participating in a number of hands-on activities.
We will be offering the following camps this summer:
- Computer Science and Arts for All (3rd - 5th graders)
- Senior Tigers Engineering Camp (rising 12th graders)
- Auburn Engineering Summer Expo (rising 9th-12th graders)
- The Future of Paper, Pulp and Paper Camp (rising 12th graders)
- Computing and Robotics for All (rising 7-8th graders)
Registration information for each camp can be found below:
Computer Science and Arts for All
For 3rd - 5th graders
February 4th–March 4th, 2023
Price: Free
CSA4ALL program is an on-campus project where students will learn about the basics of robotics, programming, and music composition. We have experts in Computer Science, Robotics and Music fields working on maximizing the efficiency and quality of the materials. The main steps of the curriculum are:
(1) Introducing students to CS concepts and skills using dash robots and xylophone attachment.
(2) Introducing students to control and program dash robots to play and create music rhythm patterns.
(3) Teaching essential music vocabulary.
(4) Teaching students how to compose music using the Xylo app and Dash’s xylophone attachment.
(5) Introducing programming concepts like sequencing, algorithm, events, and making loops by repeating measures of music.
(6) Teaching how to synchronize their Dash robots with their musical composition.
(7) Providing an opportunity for students to turn the Dash robot into a marching band making the dash robot move and groove with its xylophone attachment and simple programming.
(8) Controlling small educational robots using ML/AI
Sessions will be led by Computer Science and Software Engineering, Computing Electrical Engineering departments faculty and graduate students. If you have any questions, please email the camp director, Dr. Daniela Marghitu at marghda@auburn.edu. We hope to see you soon!

All applicants will be notified via the student's email address of their acceptance status on October 30th, 2022.
This is a one-day program. During the day, students will explore the different engineering majors while participating in hands-on activities to tackle challenges for a particular theme. Sessions will be led by engineering organizations, faculty members, and current Auburn Engineering students. If you have any questions, please email the Office of Recruitment, K-12 Outreach, and Scholarship at futureengineer@eng.auburn.edu. We hope to see you at camp!
The Pulp & Paper Camp, conducted by faculty, staff, and students from Auburn’s Alabama Center of Paper & Bioresource Engineering, is open to science-loving rising 12th graders who are interested in learning more about the power of paper for everyday life and the growing pulp and paper industry. Students interested in pursuing a degree in engineering (specifically chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or biosystems engineering) are encouraged to participate in the pulp and paper summer camp to learn more about the Pulp, Paper, & Bioresource specialization at Auburn University and the Auburn Pulp & Paper Scholarship opportunities.
Campers will learn about paper and papermaking firsthand, as well as participate in hands-on papermaking and texting experiments, tour a local paper mill, and learn about engineering at Auburn University.
