RISE Jr. (4th and 5th Grade)

RISE Jr. is a day camp for 4^th and 5^th graders to explore engineering at the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering. Students will be introduced to the “Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve” design process through hands-on learning. Build a computer; Design and launch rockets; Make bubbles sink; Explore good circuits vs. bad circuits; Can you really make an ocean’s wave? Join us this summer to "Do Engineering"!

AWE/BEST (Middle School)

AWE/BEST are day camps for middle school students to explore engineering at the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering. Students will be introduced to the “Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve” design process through hands-on learning. Build a concrete canoe; Design and launch rockets; Engineer the human body; Explore good circuits vs. bad circuits; Grow algae. Join us this summer!

RISE (High School)

RISE is a workshop experience that features laboratory clinics, exciting engineering activities, campus & industry tours, and mentoring by Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering professors and students. Students from high schools throughout the region may work with chocolate, polymers, arduinos, concrete, wind turbines, bottle rockets, air cannons or music engineering during the hands-on engineering RISE workshop.
