Precollege
Inspiring Students Interested In STEM
Our precollege programs include residential and nonresidential courses and camps that cover STEM-themed topics such as cybersecurity, rockets, autonomous programming, 3D printing, robotics, and more. Most of our programs run during the summer but we do offer some throughout the year. We typically have the schedule of summer programs ready in early January.
