Description
RISE MS was designed to introduce middle school students to the broad field of engineering. The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering invites current middle school students, those currently in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades during the 2021-2022 school year, to learn about the exciting field of engineering from Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering faculty, staff and students. RISE MS focuses on hands-on engineering laboratory experiments and will cultivate young students interest in engineering through an applied approach to engineering, exposure to the diverse paths an engineer can take and the impact an engineer can have in shaping the future. 2022 will be the 22nd year that the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering offers a middle school workshop.

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.
What happened to AWE and BEST?
We decided to combine our middle school BEST and AWE programs to create one co-ed program.
Will the 2022 Summer Camps be virtual or in-person?
In-person. Our goal is to have on-campus camps this coming summer. Of course, we will strictly follow all COVID-19 procedures and protocols. This all depends on the state of our world, but we anxiously wait and prepare to see our future engineers in person!
How many applicants are you accepting?
20. The Henry M. College of Engineering plans on accepting about 20 students to RISE MS.
Where are the summer camps located?
RISE MS located in The Henry M. College of Engineering. We rotate between Rowan Hall and Engineering Hall to allow students to get the most of what we can offer.
When do applications open and close?
Open: Early 2022

Confirmation and acceptance emails will shortly follow.
How much do each of the camps cost?
$150
We do our best to make each camp affordable and reasonable for all. Cost is calculated on what materials and resources are needed to give each child the most enriching experience. If payment is not received by the due-date, the student’s spot will be opened up to another candidate on the waiting list.
