In 2020 and 2021, the camp was offered remotely via Zoom. Inchanging the format from in-person to remote delivery, we aimed for similar outcomes andparticipant activities. The differences in implementation are described later in this paper. We select 25 participants from a pool of applicants who are recruited from local highschools. We require applicants to have at least completed ninth grade. Our selection processfavors students who are finishing high school (entering eleventh or twelfth grade).

In efforts to integrate sustainability into undergraduate engineering curricula, variousstrategies and pedagogies are explored, but a universally accepted approach is yet to beestablished. Sustainability initiatives can be implemented at different levels within educationalinstitutions, including departmental, individual, school, or university-wide strategies.
