About Rice ELITE Tech Camp
Choose your PATH • Build Your SKILLS • Find Your PASSION
Rice ELITE Tech Camp, developed by the Rice University Center for Engineering Leadership (RCEL) and powered by WorldStrides focuses on a vigorous technology track, supplemented by college readiness and engineering leadership preparation components. Students will participate in intensive science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning activities, while learning to apply the engineering design process to solve real world problems. One-week sessions include hands-on curriculum allowing Rice ELITE Tech students to employ technical, scientific, and/or analytical concepts.
Discover what it takes to be ELITE – an Emerging Leader in Technology and Engineering through daily Engineering Leadership activities. Specifically designed for high school students by Rice University–affiliated Head Instructors, these courses introduce college-level engineering and technology concepts. Instruction is delivered by top-performing undergraduate engineering students who bring the material to life, mentor participants, and share authentic insights into the college experience.
While staying on the campus of Rice University, you will have the opportunity to dive into subjects relating to engineering, technology, and the applications of computer science that interest you. You can look forward to building skills such as programming like a NASA scientist, developing your own Python code, exploring Applied Machine Learning, and deepening your understanding of bioengineering. You will also network with other talented students who will be your future colleagues and acquire valuable information about how to succeed in these highly competitive fields.
