The Chemistry and Physics Department is offering students the opportunity to participate in a Summer Innovation Program focused on the knowledge and skills of inventing and entrepreneurship. The objective of this summer program will be to engage the students in the exploration of science, technology, engineering and math through the process of discovery learning.

The Program will run from August 5^th to August 30^th; Monday to Friday; 8am to 2pm.

• August 5th to 23rd (8:00 am to 2:00 pm): The students will learn how to use AutoCad Mechanical Desktop and Corel Draw to design and build models and to invent innovative products using the 3D Printers, Laser Cutters and CNC Machines in the Innovation Lab leading to the development of a functional prototype.
• August 26th to 30th (8:00 am to 2:00 pm): The students will learn about entrepreneurship and they will apply their knowledge and skills of design thinking to market and pitch their innovative product to a review panel.
