Courses & activities
Problem formulation
Analyze user needs and define design requirements for an environmental engineering challenge.
Sustainable prototyping
Develop functional devices around themes such as clean water and solar energy.
Digital design and fabrication
Learn design and fabrication methods, using tools such as 3D printing and laser cutting as the project requires.
Arduino and C++
Learn programming logic and write or modify code that controls Arduino-based devices.
Integrated engineering project
Combine design, hardware and software in a hands-on project and refine how the device works.
Camp features & life
University makerspace
Experiential, project-based teaching emphasizes hands-on problem-solving.
Small cohorts
Accelerate cohorts typically have 15–30 students, supporting discussion and peer exchange.
Residential Boston experience
Residential life includes campus activities and program-organized exploration of Boston.
Who might enjoy this camp?
- Enjoys making, coding or unpacking technical problems
- Curious about engineering responses to environmental needs

Travel & participation
Students live in campus residence halls, typically sharing rooms and suite facilities; staff live in the building and the entrance is staffed around the clock.
Students must return to the residence hall by 10 p.m. and follow meeting-point and buddy rules during outings.
Check academic English readiness, immigration documents, health and dietary needs in advance; families plan transport and pre/post-program arrangements.
