Electrical and Computer Engineering Summer Institute
This four-day virtual summer camp on computer programming and hardware gives aspiring engineers the chance to learn about how fundamental disciplines within ECE — such as computer hardware and software, circuits, and algorithms — contribute to the technology that powers our world, from cell phones to autonomous vehicles. Students will learn the basics of programming embedded systems using the Raspberry Pi Pico 2w, a low-cost, low-power microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi.
Dates | In-person: July 14–17, 2025 Virtual: July 21–24, 2025 |
---|---|
Format | Online |
Cost | $750 (includes hardware) |
Eligibility | Rising high school juniors and seniors. There are no prerequisites; students do not need any programming or electronics experience. |
Deadline | June 15, 2025 |

Materials Science and Engineering Summer Institute
The Drexel University Materials Science and Engineering Summer Institute is a one-week program that will give aspiring scientists and engineers the chance to learn about how atomic elements arrange themselves to form the materials that are all around us. Furthermore, the Summer Institute will emphasize how variables in the processing of materials determine physical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Through hands-on science and engineering activities, students will gain an understanding of how materials impact the fields of energy, biotechnology, and electronics. Sustainability and nanotechnology will be a theme woven through the modules. Both in-person and online versions of the program are available. Experimental supplies will be provided for both delivery modes.
Dates | In-person: July 14–17, 2025 Virtual: July 21–24, 2025 |
