Summer Engineering Exploration (SEE) Camp
— The SEE Program is a week-long residential camp sponsored by the Society of Women Engineers and the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan. Through interactive presentations, departmental tours, design challenges, engineering workplace tours and more, students are exposed to the various applications of engineering. All students currently enrolled in their freshman, sophomore, or junior year of high school are eligible to apply. For more information and to access the program application, please visit the SEE Camp webpage.
Wolverine Health Explorers (WHE) is a non-residential summer camp for high school students interested in gaining exposure to a number of health professions while also deepening their understanding of their own personal interests, values and skills. WHE is sponsored by the University of Michigan Career Center.
Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Pre-college Programs:
Formerly titled Future Science: Future Engineering, this program brings seventh- and eighth-grade girls to campus for one week during the summer. The girls participate in hands-on projects in engineering, the human genome project, chemistry, physics, and space science as well as sessions on computers, careers, and ethics in science. Fee. Application deadline.
An exciting four-day, day program for students who will complete the 9th-11th grades in June
RobotC is a one-week, day program for students who will complete grades 8 - 12 in June. The camp introduces students to computer programming in a fun and supportive environment.

Center for Advanced Automotive Technology at Macomb Community College
SAE (the Society of Automotive Engineers) International's A World In Motion® (AWIM) is a teacher-administered, industry volunteer-assisted program that brings science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education to life in the classroom for students in Kindergarten through Grade 12. Benchmarked to the national standards, AWIM incorporates the laws of physics, motion, flight and electronics into age-appropriate hands on activities that reinforce classroom STEM curriculum. The JCI Foundation (Johnson Controls) has sponsored AWIM in the Plymouth-Canton Schools since 2008 through 16 schools and 2 grade levels.
National Science Foundation Graduate STEM Fellows in K-12 Education
Through the National Science Foundation’s GK-12 program, institutions of higher education have had an opportunity to make a significant change in STEM graduate and K-12 education programs by creating strong and enduring partnerships. As these graduate students bring their cutting-edge research and practice into the K-12 classroom, they gain these skills which enable them to explain science to people of all ages, ranging from students to teachers.
