Summer Engineering Workshop Overview

High school students will work collaboratively with Dartmouth faculty, staff, and students to design, build, and test an engineering prototype to address a problem or need of their choosing. Hands-on activities throughout the workshop will help them explore and understand engineering. Students will present their final designs during a celebration open to family and friends.

The workshop is designed for students to:

Experience the creativity of engineering and the many interdisciplinary opportunities it offers
Develop engineering skills, including problem-solving and design skills
Use computer-aided software for design (SolidWorks) and machining (such as 3D printing, laser-cutting, and rapid prototyping)
Have fun!

Program Dates and Times: July 29-August 9 (2 weeks), from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
