The George Fox College of Engineering invites high school students ages 16  to 18 to join us for our inaugural high school Maker Camp July 12-16!

If you know a high school student who loves hands-on projects, figuring out how things work, and exploring the latest technologies in making, send them this link to register for Maker Camp 2021.

Participants will expand their skills with 3-D modeling and printing, automation, computer programming and design as they work alongside George Fox engineering students and faculty to create their own custom engineering devices, utilize industry tools and equipment, and make new friends.

We will take time each day to engage in spiritual reflection, build relationships, and enjoy the beautiful George Fox campus. Maker Camp participants will hear from industry professionals about ways engineering intersects with their walk with Christ and why, as a Christian, they love being in the field of engineering.

Contact Tamara Wytsma (twytsma@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

Please keep an eye out for a future date and time for this event.

We will put out a call for Richter Scholars’ proposals in early fall for summer 2022 research projects. Students, you may want to talk to a faculty mentor before the semester ends so you can beginning planning. Faculty, you may also want to connect with a potential research student before the semester ends or over the summer.

The Richter Scholars program at George Fox distributes funds to support student research activities that are devised, initiated and carried out by individual student researchers, with mentorship, guidance and expertise provided by a faculty mentor.

The purpose of these funds is to support educational research opportunities that encourage the practices of independent thought, leading to independent achievement and personal responsibility.

For the purpose of this program, research is defined as a knowledge-generating activity that is designed to provide new information on a topic, tool, or process, and that proceeds according to established and accepted research methods.

For more information, contact Vetta Berokoff at vberokof@georgefox.edu.
