The goal is to create a culture of entrepreneurship, and to foster these outcomes bystrengthening the partnerships between higher education, local schools and the business smartzone. We feel that

The main goal of the camp is to introducestudents to engineering disciplines in a way that motivates and prepares them for undergraduatemajors. Camp features highly active classroom and laboratory sessions that introduce technicaltopics not through lecture or „cook-book‟ laboratory, but through active, collaborative, andproblem-based learning approaches shown to be not only more effective at fostering
