ECE
Outreach: Pre-College Programs:
The ECE Outreach Office coordinates several
major programs for high school teachers and pre-college students of various
ages, as well as tours of the School’s facilities and visits to metro Atlanta
schools.
These
activities are organized in
partnerships with local public school systems and magnet programs, the Georgia
Tech Admissions Office and other campus groups that also have K-12 outreach
missions, and engineering and science professional societies.
Below
is a list of programs led by ECE;
please check back often for updates.
The
following campus offices offer additional
information about campus visits, information sessions, and other specialized
programs at Georgia Tech:
Georgia
Tech:
Living Together: In this environmental science program,
students will design a solution to a problem facing the town of Wamego.
Generations of residents have worked the town's farms and enjoyed the outdoor
activities and recreation available to this quaint community along the banks of
the Crystal River.
CSI: GT: Grab a
pair of examination gloves, and get ready to explore one of the fastest growing
and most exciting fields in science – Forensics Science. During this week
students dive into forensics, learning through case studies, mock crime scenes,
and hands-on lab work. Students will learn and explore traditional
fingerprinting, blood splatter patterns, DNA fingerprinting, and many other
techniques used in real crime investigation.
Adventures in Animation: Adventures in Animation is a hands-on program that allows
participants to combine art, engineering, and computer science to create
dynamic productions. Participants will experience the excitement of
controlling electronic devices using the Pico Cricket kit that makes music and
tests reaction time by programming the kit to interact with the user.
SPACE CAMP programs range from 3 to 8
days, during which teamwork, self confidence and communication will be achieved
through state-of-the-art simulations, missions, rocket building and robotics.
AVIATION CHALLENGE
programs range from 3 to 8 days, during which teamwork, self confidence and
communication will be achieved through state-of-the-art high performance jet
simulation, scenario-based missions, land and water survival training and
flight dynamics.
X-CAMP activities are similar to the preparation space shuttle and aviation crews
train in before being added to active flight status. Team building and
communication is an integral component that will be utilized during the course
of this experience.
Sig @ Emory
University: Summer
residential program where students become part of
a community of like-minded young people and adults. These students are
committed to academic excellence, social and emotional growth, and creative and
recreational excitement. Crucial to this stimulating environment is the
inclusion of students who share similar abilities, interests, commitments, and
talents. Here students learn responsibility, self-motivation, community
participation, and respect for others.

ages 5 to 9. Certified teachers will guide the children in exploration and
discovery through the world of exploration.
Georgia
Tech: Animation Explorers—This program will introduce animation and
robotics through movement and computing. Using Scratch animation software
and LEGO robots you will explore the process of programming to create motion.
This creative program allows you to build a robot that can dance with you and
interactive animations that resemble the cartoons on TV.
Summer Blast Technology Camps for 1st thru 5th graders at Southern Polytechnic University
SummerBlast:
Detonate your child's summer fun by
signing him/her up for one, some, or all SummerBlast camps.
The mixture of recreational activities and academic programs will ignite a
burst of fun and learning. The camp's nucleus is a combination of science
and technology subjects exploding with hands-on
activities outside of the traditional academic setting. Don't let your kid's summer be
a dud!
