Students gain hands-on experience prototyping and testing engineering concepts, including designing 3D model rockets and programming drones and rovers, while immersing themselves in campus life at a top-ranked university.
At the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Engineering at Georgia Tech, high school students engage in hands-on engineering experiences, tackling real-world challenges through innovation and collaboration. The program focuses on developing practical skills through projects such as designing 3D model rockets using CAD software, programming microcontrollers for autonomous drones, and building electrical circuits similar to those in electric vehicles. Students also explore AI neural networks and participate in a service-driven impact challenge capstone project addressing UN Sustainable Development Goals. The curriculum emphasizes the engineering design process and provides exposure to various engineering disciplines. Participants gain valuable project experience, develop critical social-emotional skills, and can earn 1-2 college credits from George Mason University.
A typical day includes morning design labs focused on creating 3D model rockets and building electric circuits, followed by afternoon programming sessions with model drones and exploring AI neural networks. Evenings are dedicated to team challenges and social activities.
This program is ideal for academically-minded high school students with a passion for engineering who want to explore various career paths in the field and gain a realistic taste of college life.
