BRIDGE Program
BRIDGE is a five-week intensive summer program held at the Storrs campus. This program is designed to prepare incoming first-year UConn students in engineering fields for the rigor of engineering curriculum at UConn, introduce leadership opportunities and careers in engineering, and to familiarize students with the University of Connecticut and the college experience as a whole.
Explore Engineering
The UConn Explore Engineering Program is a two week residential STEM summer camp for current high school sophomores and juniors. Participants work in groups with engineering faculty and students to learn what engineers do in the workplace and see engineering concepts live. Through our Grand Challenges, students fabricate an engineering discipline-specific device, which will be showcased at a end-of-program demonstration.
Pre-Engineering Program
The Pre-Engineering Program (PEP) is an enrichment program for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students that includes hands-on math and science exploratory activities aimed at increasing interest in careers involving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Sophomore Summer Bridge
Sophomore Summer Bridge prepares students finishing their first year in Engineering, Pre-Engineering, or other related STEM fields for future courses and opportunities. Current sophomores and non-degree students may also find value in this program. Students will prepare for upcoming challenging courses, develop internship/research skills, and form a productive community amongst valuable figures and peers.
SPARK
SPARK is a summer camp designed to support the success of current 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th grade female students interested in STEM. Students will challenge themselves by incorporating math and science skills into hands-on projects and experiments, exciting engineering concepts, and fun activities. SPARK is committed to the safety and equal opportunity for girls in this program by providing single-sex dormitories and single-sex athletics during the program.
