Why Attend?<\/h2>\n

Materials Camp is the perfect summer activity for students curious about how and why things work at an atomic level based on what they are made of.<\/p>\n

Materials are the building blocks of civilizations, everything from the phones used every day to the steel beams in a house to the ceramic pins used to help aid in bones healing. The study of materials provides opportunities for students to learn science and math in the context of real-world applications.<\/p>\n

This camp offers an interesting, fun, and educational opportunity for students to learn more about the vast world of MSE.<\/p>\n
