The camp culminates in a team competition with the winning team earning a one-week research internship opportunity at George Mason University.
The George Mason University BioE Buzz Summer Camp is an experiential, one-week program designed for rising high school juniors and seniors interested in bioengineering. Campers will engage in hands-on activities to solve biomedical problems, developing lab techniques and research skills. Activities include designing biomedical engineering devices, competing in team challenges using biomaterials, 3D-printing, and microbiological methods, and learning through various facets of the bioengineering field. Students will also experience George Mason campus life with tours of facilities like the nanofabrication facility and The MIX, and participate in on-campus dining. The camp aims to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills while exposing students to cutting-edge discoveries and technological innovations in bioengineering labs.
Mornings involve lab tours, meeting faculty experts, and seminars, while afternoons are dedicated to team challenges where students develop specific skills and work on projects like 3D printing a bone or testing polymers.
This camp is ideal for rising high school juniors and seniors curious about bioengineering and interested in hands-on problem-solving and team-based challenges.
