Let the games begin at the 2026 Engineering Olympics Inside Engineering camp! This summer, campers will experience the thrill of competition as they take on Olympic-inspired engineering challenges that blend creativity, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving. From designing devices that simulate athletic feats to tackling STEM-based obstacles, participants will work in teams to earn medals in invention, strategy, and teamwork. With each challenge, campers will build critical thinking skills, explore diverse engineering disciplines, and celebrate the spirit of innovation. Here every camper has the chance to become a champion of engineering!
