Union University Engineering Camps

Union University offers a good selection of day summer camps in Jackson, TN, hoping to introduce young, potential engineers to this innovative world. One of their camps, Intro to 3D Printing & Engineering, is an excellent way for 6-12th graders to begin immersing themselves in the field. This full-day course introduces middle and high school students to the realm of 3D printing, including how to assemble their own devices. All participants are allowed to bring their device home, which they learn to maintain during the course.

Their other camp, 3D Printing and Beyond, allows 4-8th graders to test their skills in the subject and merge it with the fundamentals of STEM. Healthy competition is introduced in an engaging, interactive environment, creating memorable lessons that students carry into the future. This program does require students to have prior experience in their Intro to Engineering Camp, so it would be advisable to look into that option before signing up.

Overall the programs cover beginner to advanced subjects, how to use different devices, including a 3D scanner, and much more.
