In 2018, the campers will make solar-charged reading lamps for people living in Guatemala with no electrical grid access. You’ll meet women engineers who are changing the world, learn new skills, tour engineering workplaces, explore Milwaukee, make friends and experience life on a college campus. EnQuest camp will take over a floor of a UWM Residence Hall tower for overnight accommodations—so you’ll get to know your fellow campers and get a taste of college life.

No prior engineering experience needed.

Applications for the Andover program close Dec 15th! The website isn’t the greatest.
