What is G.R.A.D.E. CAMP?
G.R.A.D.E. CAMP is a week-long day program designed specifically for entering 8th to 12th grade girls who want to find out what engineering is all about through "hands-on" experience. G.R.A.D.E. CAMP emphasizes career exposure rather than career choice, so you can come just to experience something new.

Not only will you gain valuable engineering knowledge and experience working in teams, but you will also have a lot of fun! By the end of Camp, you will have gained valuable insight from Houston-area female engineers and engineering students and you will have designed your own robot that can make its way through a maze!

AUTOMATIC $1000 UH SCHOLARSHIP!
Yes, you heard right. G.R.A.D.E. CAMP participants who complete the program and subsequently enroll in an engineering, natural sciences or mathematics major their freshman year at the University of Houston, Main Campus receive a one-time $1000 scholarship!

Who sponsors G.R.A.D.E. CAMP?
G.R.A.D.E. CAMP is sponsored through Texas Workforce Development grants, industry support from ExxonMobil and BP, and individual donors.
