What Is Junior Engineering Forge Camp?

What’s better than solving a problem? Engineering the solution yourself. Junior Engineering Forge Camp is where young builders explore mechanical design, prototyping, and hands-on challenges in a highly creative, supportive environment.

Across this thrilling week, campers tackle new design quests each day — bridges, launchers, vehicles, structures, and more — learning real engineering concepts while building things they’re proud to show off.

Camp Highlights

Mechanical Design Fundamentals

Campers learn how and why things stay standing, roll smoothly, or launch accurately:

• Stability, center of gravity, force, and load distribution
• How shapes and materials affect strength
• Designing for durability versus speed or height

Prototyping & Construction

Students bring ideas to life using accessible materials and tools:

• Build and test towers, bridges, vehicles, launchers, and contraptions
• Use age-appropriate tools with clear safety guidance
• Learn to iterate: build → test → improve → test again

Real-World Problem Solving

Daily “Forge Quests” challenge campers to think like engineers:

• Design a structure that holds the most weight
• Create a vehicle that travels the farthest or straightest
• Engineer a device that can launch or transport objects precisely

Collaboration & Design Thinking

Campers work both individually and in teams, sharing ideas and learning to give and receive constructive feedback — just like real engineering teams.

Why Families Love This Camp

Experienced engineering educators who know how to make complex concepts approachable and fun.

Project-based curriculum where campers are constantly building, testing, and improving — not just listening.

Confidence-building environment that celebrates effort, curiosity, and persistence.

Ideal preparation for future robotics, engineering, and STEM competitions.
