UAT STEM FALL CAMP
A five-day immersive STEM adventure for students in grades 6–12 who are ready to get hands-on with the future of technology. Campers spend two days becoming ethical hackers and cyber defenders, then three days designing, building, programming, and testing robots.
During the cybersecurity experience, students tackle cyber challenges, investigate digital threats, crack puzzles, and learn how hackers think. Then, they shift from hacking systems to building machines, spending three days engineering, programming, testing, and battling their robots.
Working alongside industry-experienced mentors in university-level labs, campers collaborate, compete, and create while gaining real-world experience in cybersecurity, robotics, AI, engineering, and technology.
Five days. Two worlds. One mission: Hack the Bot.
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 October 5th-9th.
Includes daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, camp shirts and camp materials.
