UAT STEM SUMMER CAMP - SUMMER 2026
A five-day immersive STEM adventure built for high school students, from incoming freshmen to graduating seniors, who are ready to explore the future of technology in a hands-on, unforgettable way. Campers live on campus, collaborate with new friends, and dive into real experiences in AI, cybersecurity, robotics, engineering, and digital creativity.
Throughout the week, students build AI tools, tackle cyber challenges, design and test robots, create digital worlds, and work inside university-level labs guided by industry-experienced mentors. Evenings bring esports battles, team competitions, and the kind of late-night bonding that makes the overnight experience feel like a tech-powered summer retreat.
The camp closes with a capstone showcase where students present their creations, celebrate their progress, and walk away with new skills, confidence, and a clear sense of how STEM can shape their future. A summer built for teens who want more than a camp — they want an experience. The journey begins July 20–24th.
Includes daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, room and lodging, and camp shirts/camp materials.
