Engineering Design Summer Camp

The Engineering Design Summer Camp, offered through the Youth Camps Program at Colorado School of Mines, provides an opportunity for high school students, grades 10-12, to attend a 5-day summer camp on the Mines campus in Golden, Colorado. The objective of the camp is to guide participants through a fun and rewarding hands-on experience of authentic engineering design practices.

This camp will introduce a tool to build and make parametric models of parts and assemblies. Learn with a computer-based tool, through a software program called SolidWorks™ by Dassault Systems, which allows for creative modelling and visualization. SolidWorks™ is an integral part of engineering design and/or problem solving. Students who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and math will enjoy this course, because it will guide them to support and improve their 3D design skills and make their conceptual ideas come to life. The software is very versatile and fun to use, you will be excited by the challenges you are given. The opportunity to become a Certified SolidWorks™ Associate (CSWA) will be given on the final day, this is an industry known certification.
