FAQs
What is the difference between RISE JR, RISE MS, and RISE?
Our Rise JR program is for rising 4th and 5th grade students. In this workshop, we primarily focus on introducing engineering with a more elementary-based curriculum. No experience with engineering is necessary! RISE MS is a summer workshop for rising middle school students. In this program, we focus on hands-on learning through engineering projects & demonstrations. No experience with engineering is necessary! Our final program, RISE, is for rising 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders. As our most challenging workshop, RISE features laboratory clinics, exciting engineering activities, campus & industry tours, and mentoring by Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering professors and students. RISE participants must apply and be accepted to the program.
Are the programs residential camps?
No. Our summer programs are typically four-day, non-residential camps.
When is RISE MS?
RISE MS will run July 11, 12, 13, and 14, 2022 from 9:00AM to 12:30PM.
