(twenty-onecamps in eight locations). Each year, UACOE improved upon each camp, either by making © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021 2021 ASEE Midwest Section Conferencesmall, adaptive modifications or by developing completely new themes or content. This ensuredthat camps improved in quality, while also allowing students to attend each year as a newexperience.In 2017, UACOE incorporated the promising practices for informal learning activities into theircamps. Camp content shifted from several projects with no relationships to central themes. Thisstudy focuses on two themes offered in 2019 and 2020 since both were implemented in an in-person and virtual environment.The first
