Dunwoody College of Technology STEM Camp is for high school students entering grades 10-12 in fall 2017.

During STEM Camp, you’ll:

  • Tour Boston Scientific on the first day (transportation provided) and attend a career panel of BSC employees in STEM jobs.
  • Design, build, and program a Smart Flashlight using SolidWorks CAD software, Stratasys 3D printers, CNC machining, and Arduino code.
  • Use engineering design processes in a team to compete with other teams for engineering dominance while applying physical sciences concepts to real-world scenarios.
  • Explore how building designs – both electronically and physically – use STEM to help shape the backdrops of our lives. You’ll explore architecture and civil engineering by making a physical model during a tower design activity and also learn how the sun shapes cities by using SketchUp Make software to digitally study Downtown Minneapolis.
