About this camp

The Georgia Tech STEP Atlanta Program is a two-week, in-person engineering immersion experience for high school students. Participants work in teams on open-ended engineering challenge problems inspired by active Georgia Tech research, designing and prototyping solutions. Students collaborate with Georgia Tech faculty mentors and present their findings at a poster session to parents, teachers, faculty, and industry representatives. The program emphasizes hands-on learning and problem-solving, encouraging students to stretch their capabilities and develop confidence in their engineering skills. It is designed to be different from typical summer camps by challenging students with real research problems that do not have pre-designed solutions.
