Students entering grades 9 through 12 can come to the camp and receive a taste of biology, chemistry, math, science education, physics and engineering technology through fun activities and events with actual professors in a college setting.
Participants can explore rivers, education or quantum computers — or visit the MTSU Flight Operations Center at Murfreesboro Airport, and Creamery or observatory on campus. Fun extras include spending time in the Student Union game room, Campus Recreation Center and movie theater.
