Summer 2017, Â鶹ÉçÇø Pembroke introduced its first annual Engineering Camp Pembroke. Elementary and Middle school kids from around the region participated the day-camps from July 24 through August 8, 2017. Â鶹ÉçÇø Pembroke partnered with the N.C. State College of Engineering and the Engineering Place to present the week-long camps. Campers learned in collaborative groups how engineers help society, and they experienced engineering themselves through hands-on, creative investigations and design activities. Some of the activities included a Nanobug Maze, Marshmellow Catapult, Newspaper Chair and other fun challenges.
