2025 STEM Engineering & Construction Camps
2025 DEADLINE: March 12, 2025.
The Society of American Military Engineers, in collaboration with the Military Services, offers a series of engineering/STEM camps designed for High School & College students who excel in math, science, and technology courses and are interested in pursuing engineering, architecture, or a related field in college. These one–week camps are high-energy, hands–on events for students from across the country and around the world. The camps are led by a professional staff of engineers from both private industry and the uniformed military services.
Each camp has its own unique focus and theme and is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn what engineers do from professional engineers, learn practical skills, and gain exposure to the military services. Your first step is to determine if you are eligible and then go through the application process for the camp you select.
