The camps took place over two sessions. The first session was June 10-13, and the second session was June 17, 18, 20, and 21, 2024, with a total of 16 students participating. These students, who will be entering grades 10-12 in the fall, were introduced to various hands-on activities designed to spark their interest in manufacturing and engineering.

Each day of the camp focused on a different area of manufacturing:

• Day One: Mechanical Drafting, Design, and Engineering
• Day Two: Machine Tool Technology
• Day Three: Welding
• Day Four: Mechatronics

At the end of the four-day camps, students received certificates of completion, a Bluetooth speaker they had built themselves, and a unique voucher. The voucher, provided by the º£½ÇÉçÇø Technical and Community College Foundation, offers a $500 scholarship to any student who enrolls in one of ATCC's four featured programs—Mechanical Drafting, Machine Tool Technology, Welding, or Mechatronics—by Fall 2027.
