Summer Engineering Camp

The Northrop Grumman Summer Engineering Camp at USC is a camp in which rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students explore aerospace, civil, electrical, environmental and mechanical engineering with hands-on activities such as rockets, circuits, bridges and robots. Students also explore computer science by learning to code and write apps.
