We are not yet accepting registration for Summer 2025.

The School of Science, Engineering and Technology Tech Camps include 10, one-week technology camps at St. Mary’s University. The camps, limited to about 18 students per camp, are taught by St. Mary’s professors and are for students who are going into at least 9th grade in 2025-2026 and will be 14 years old by June 1, 2025.

Campers will learn about various topics, languages and tools within the computer science and engineering fields. Each camp will see various technology laboratories on field trips around the St. Mary’s University campus. Each camp has a student project that can be shown to family on the last afternoon of the camp.

All camps meet Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with an extra hour on Friday to complete showing projects to family and friends. Participants can be dropped off between 8 to 9 a.m. and must be picked up between 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.. Camps marked with an asterisk (*) give preference for female students.
