Sixteen participants in Youth Engineering and Technology Career Exploration camp at South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University got a chance to test drive a Baja Buggy and Formula car built by State students as well as build robot cars and do other hands-on engineering activities and even play cricket with Sanjeev Kumar, dean of the Lohr College of Engineering.
The annual program is designed to build understanding, interest and enthusiasm for engineering and technology as a career.
Most of the high school students hailed from South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã and Minnesota, however, the camp also drew New York City resident Owen Roddy, whose grandparents live in the Flandreau area.
Other activities during the July 7-12 program included watching the college’s Break the Ice Lunar Challenge excavator operate at a local quarry, tour scoreboard giant Daktronics and compete in robot competitions.
