Overview
SET Camp is a weeklong enrichment day camp located on the Fairfax Campus of George Mason University. The camp is designed for middle school-age students to learn about applied science and engineering through hands-on creative activities and experiments. The approach is to introduce students to various science, engineering, and technology fields through a "learn by doing" model of educational activities.
This camp emphasizes innovation, ingenuity and creativity as preqrequisites for good science and technology. We will also integrate leadership skills, esteem building, goal-setting, and a "can-do" attitude into the science and engineering sessions. New Century College faculty and student mentors provide a fun and innovative curriculum.
