Learn More About Summer BRIDGE

We warmly welcome you to the first step in joining a lifelong family of exceptional engineers. Get ready for one of the most emotional, remarkable, and worthwhile summers of your pre-college career. You can take our word for it—BRIDGE will be one of the best decisions you have ever made, and we are thrilled to create unforgettable memories with you this summer.

This year, we are joined by an extraordinary group of coaches for BRIDGE 2K26. These students exemplify what it means to be a BRIDGE coach; they are not only hardworking and intelligent but also incredibly friendly. We are eager for you to meet them and benefit from their guidance and support. Remember, we were once in your shoes as incoming students stepping into the world of college. We understand the excitement and the nerves, and we’re here to make this transition seamless and enjoyable for you.

We’re enthusiastically counting down the days until you join us on this incredible journey, marking our 39th year of the BRIDGE program. Here’s to BRIDGE 2K26 – a summer that promises to be as enriching as it is memorable!
