This free, three-week program offers hands-on exposure to engineering principles and emerging technologies, including data science applications for local sports teams, at a university campus.
The Thomas Jefferson University STEM Summer Camp Experience 2026 is a three-week day camp designed for students entering 6th to 9th grade in the Greater Philadelphia Area. The program focuses on exposing students to how engineers apply math, science, and engineering principles to improve lives through hands-on experiments. Participants will be introduced to emerging technologies such as data analytics, 3D-printing, logical programming, engineering design processes, and logistics. Projects include using data science to analyze the performance of local sports teams like the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies, designing pieces to specifications using SolidWorks© software and producing them with 3D printing, performing supply chain planning, and learning to write code for sports statistics. The camp aims to provide an engaging experience where campers can see how engineering is applied in everyday life.
A typical day involves hands-on experiments and projects, introducing students to various engineering principles and emerging technologies from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
This camp is best for middle school students (6th-9th grade) in the Greater Philadelphia Area who are interested in discovering how things work and exploring careers in engineering and STEM fields.
