Arkansas State University will host a week-long project-based engineering boot camp for students who are in their 9th, 10th and 11th grade in the current academic year, 2020-2021. This camp will be offered during June 21 – July 25th, 2021 from 9 AM to 4 PM each day. The camp will host 21 participants on campus at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. During the camp, learn how engineering systems are developed, understand the mechanics of modeling and create your ideas with 3D printers. Investigate how robots are used to solve problems, then construct your own robotic masterpiece. Campers will learn about hands-on experimentation, SolidWorks and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Part of the camp will involve visits to a manufacturing facility as well as interactions with industry experts. Participants will work as part of a team on projects, and gain exposure to not only engineering skills but team building skills as well. Scholarships are available. Students will be accepted in the order they register.
Date: June 7 – 11, 2021

This camp uses “The LAUNCH Cycle” which is an engineering design cycle to solve problems. The Launch Cycle is a type of engineering design cycle that allows students to learn about NGSS engineering standards. The Launch Cycle includes steps that the students use as a model to solve their engineering/real world problems. Each letter of LAUNCH stands for something: Look, listen and learn, Ask Questions, Understand the Problem, Navigate Ideas; Create a Prototype, and Highlight and Fix (improve). The final step is to LAUNCH to an audience- share or present to others. This camp allows students to feel relevance in their learning, see possibilities of the impact that they will make, and take ownership of their own learning in all areas of STEAM. Students will LOVE this NASA Engineering and Exploration experience! Students will be accepted in the order they register.
Date: July 12 – 16, 2021
Camp: Digital Photography Bootcamp AdvancedIn June, the Beginning Photography Bootcamp was offered and this camp will be an extension of that camp. This camp will build upon that content and continue with new tools, strategies, and procedures. You can continue to sharpen your camera skills in this Digital Photography Adobe Photoshop summer boot camp and explore the multi-step process of using a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera. If you are new to photography and did not complete the first camp in June we can still work with you as you discover more about digital photography. The camp is individualized to a degree because of each person’s interests and abilities. So, whether you’re new to photography or looking to further develop your artistic view, the School of Media and Journalism is the perfect environment to learn digital photography in all its aspects. Students will be able to work at their own pace, while the fundamentals of digital photography and its post-production workflow and techniques.
