We have reached the conclusion of another successful Summer Engineering Academy program! SEA 2024 featured 4 weeks of camp bringing students on UA campus to work on engineering projects, activities, presentations and real-life experiences from the College of Engineering’s 17 disciplines.
We want to thank our incredible campers, parents, faculty, and staff for an amazing summer and wish everyone a great start to the school year.

Summer Engineering Academy 2024 employed approximately 12 current undergraduate students from engineering-related majors to work as part-time counseling and administrative staff. We are always looking for current students who are interested in gaining leadership skills, working to inspire youth in STEM, and serving their community. Previous experience working with youth is a plus, but not required. To inquire about future opportunities, reach out to engr-sea@arizona.edu. Applications are posted in Handshake starting in February, you must be a current UA student during the Spring 2025 semester in order to apply.
Donors have been integral to the growth of the Summer Engineering Academy. From scholarship support to curriculum development and supplies, every donation has a direct impact on making the program a success and inspiring the next generation of engineers.
