Imagination
Do you get tired of the same old thing summer after summer? If the answer is “yes” then you may want to attend Imagination. You will be introduced to the exciting and fun “stuff” we do at Virginia Tech. We have engineers, scientists and college students ready to help you explore the world of science, technology and engineering . . . Not by watching, but by DOING! You will learn about the engineering design process as you build your own devices and participate in hands on activities exploring the many different aspects of engineering. Rising 7th or 8th graders are invited to apply. Preference will be given to first time applicants.
Imagination will host three weeklong sessions. Two will feature an Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) project building a video game console and an LED Color Organ, including learning to solder. The third will allow you to build, fly and take home a drone. ECE-related camps have both day and residential options. The drone camp is residential only. Programming will take place from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm on the Blacksburg campus of Virginia Tech.
