SDSU summer camp lets high school students explore engineering

• BROOKINGS, S.D. - South Dakota State University will host a Youth Engineering Adventure Camp from June 10-14 for high school students interested in science and engineering.
• The five-day camp gives high school students hands-on experiences with technology and engineering, and will teach them about its importance to the economy and the world around them. Registration $100 fee includes university faculty instruction along with room and board in an SDSU residence hall.
• Students will work closely with professional engineers to design and create functioning tools to aid processes that build windmills, motion detectors and FM transmitters.
• Along with hands-on activities, students will tour engineering facilities at Daktronics and the water treatment plant in Brookings. The facilities will show how they use engineering methods in their operations.
• While participating in these activities, students will live in residence halls on campus and learn what classes and subjects to master in high school to compete in the rigorous, but rewarding, fields of engineering. Students will also gain leadership and team-building skills as they work with other students.
• The camp is open to all high school students who have completed their freshman year.
• The registration fee includes lodging and three meals a day, along with a welcome dinner and graduation luncheon that are open to students' families. The fee also covers the costs for all the materials used in various the activities. The applica

tion deadline is May 31.
• Participating students will have direct supervision by SDSU faculty members and camp counselors.
