Science (CS) department got together and proposed a focused10-week long funded summer camp for two local high schools with the following objectives: 1. Provide graduate students to instruct in the areas of` mobile application development, forensics and cyber Security. 2. Provide CS one-on-one mentors for students while conducting their work-based learning experience in Computer Science. 3. Assign hands-on interdisciplinary projects that emphasize the importance of STEM fields when using and developing software applications. 4. Promote and develop soft skills among participants including leadership, communications skills, and teamwork.The proposal was funded, by DOE and the summer camps were conducted in the summer of

Focusing the activities in a self-learning group environment, students’ learning experience will be greatly improved in tandemwith their soft skills: reporting, communications, and planning [2].To promote a better interest in the overall learning outcomes, the series of activities arestructured to combine their knowledge and culminate to a final project competition for the designof a planar-truss.

All students were given pre- andposttests to gauge learning gains over the course and an end-of-term survey was administeredrelated to student perceptions and preferences. Performance results, preference results, andclassifications of submitted muddiest points will be compared between the on-campus anddistance cohorts.
