Camps are authentically Lyle, with facilities, staff, and curriculum unique to the SMU Lyle School of Engineering, providing a creative environment for hands-on, interactive team projects.
The SMU Lyle School of Engineering offers hands-on coding and robotics summer camps designed to introduce middle school students to various engineering disciplines. Participants engage in interactive workshops and team projects that mirror the engineering design process. Students gain insights into electrical, mechanical, civil and environmental, and computer science engineering through carefully designed activities. The curriculum focuses on teaching core engineering concepts and practical application, allowing students to develop analytical and presentation skills in a collaborative environment. Campers utilize the Deason Innovation Gym, a maker space equipped with 3D printers, laser cutters, and power tools, to prototype their solutions to real-world challenges. The program aims to spark passion for STEM and provide valuable experiences for those curious about engineering and potential career paths.
A typical day runs from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and includes curriculum and projects designed by CIEE faculty, staff, and counselors, with all project materials provided.
This camp is ideal for rising 7th and 8th-grade students with little to no prior exposure to engineering, designing, or integrated STEM programs.
