RISE Jr. - current 4th and 5th grade students
June 26, 27, 28, and 29, 2023
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
As Summer 2023 approaches, updated COVID-19 policies will be more clear, listing any requirements needed. 2022 University COVID-19 policy required all RISE participants to attest to having received a COVID-19 vaccine, a negative test, or a religious or medical exemption. An attestation form similar to this may be required to attend camps in 2023, but concrete details will be available closer to camp dates.
The RISE Jr. program will be in-person for 2023. Three-hour sessions on June 26th - June 29th at the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering will encourage 4th and 5th graders to explore engineering through hands-on learning. Students will be introduced to the “Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve” design process and will get a real glimpse of Engineering through projects, demos, and building tours of the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering.

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 JR?
RISE JR is June 26, 27, 28, and 29, 2023 from 9AM to 12PM.

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 for each program.
Where are the summer camps located?

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.
