Engineer Your Future

Do you like to break things? The Chicago Regional Chapter of ASM sponsors a hands-on introduction to engineering annually, ASM Materials Camp. We are looking for students entering their junior or senior year of high school in the fall to enroll in our award winning program. The students will solve a materials mystery and determine why the component or system failed. The cost to the student is nothing; all that we ask is that they provide their own transportation to IIT and the business they will be assigned to.
When: June 22 – 27, 2009
Where: The host site is IIT where the students meet on Monday, Thursday & Saturday. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday they will be assigned to a team and a business or university (IIT) that specializes in forensic science.
Cost: FREE
