• Computer Science and Engineering Camp: The University of Texas at Tyler will be offering a residential summer camp for 10-12th graders interested in engineering and computer science this summer. Cost is $299 and some scholarships are available to deserving students that may need financial assistance. This camp provides an exciting and challenging opportunity for young engineers and scientists to design an experiment to collect data from the atmosphere using instruments launched as payloads on high altitude balloons, the same sort used for meteorological purposes. Students will determine the experiment they wish to conduct, determine the required data, and design, assemble and test the instruments needed to collect this information. At a later date, these experiments will actually be conducted during a balloon launch which students may attend. Follow this link for more information and application.
