Maryland 4-H Engineering Camp
The purpose of this camp is to introduce you to the many mechanical engineering projects available through 4-H and to give you hands – on practice to prepare for county, regional, and state contests. Each participant will have the opportunity to explore engineering projects in-depth.
Each camper will choose an engineering track to focus on throughout the weekend. These tracks will allow campers to explore a specific field of science and engineering in depth. The five tracks being offered in 2014 are:
Aerospace – campers will build and launch rockets (weather permitting) while learning about the engineering for human flight.
Agricultural and Mechanical engineering – campers will explore the role of engineering in today’s farming communities, from equipment repair and maintenance to developing irrigation and runoff controls.
Energy / Electricity – campers will start with learning about electrical circuits and will explore how engineers are working to develop new sources of energy and devices to conserve energy.
Environmental engineering – campers will look at how engineers work to protect our precious natural resources while meeting the needs of a modern society.
Robotics – campers will learn how to build and program a robot while exploring ways that engineers are using robots in modern society.
*** Each track has a limited number of spaces, please indicate on your registration your top choices ***
