Intimidator & TTC Sponsor Engineering Camp

7/30/2024
The Intimidator Group Division recently joined forces with the Integrated Supply Chain (ISC) Leadership Team to sponsor a week-long engineering camp for middle and junior high school students on the campus of the University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville. The space-themed camp, called Inside Engineering: Mission to Mars, was led by undergraduate students at the University of Arkansas College of Engineering.
 
As part of the university’s Inside Engineering program, the camp followed the best practices in STEM education for improving students’ understanding of engineering concepts and growing their interest in specific science content. Participants at the day camp learned the fundamental principles of engineering while working towards the ultimate goal—a simulated mission to Mars.
 
Within 48 hours of launching registration earlier this summer, the program was filled to maximum capacity with 24 students enrolled. Intimidator and ISC partnered with FutureFuel Chemical Company of Batesville to fully fund the $10,000 camp so that students could attend tuition free.
 
Such partnerships with local manufacturers have been developed by the U of A to address the shortage of qualified STEM applicants for manufacturing jobs across the state. Since first implementing this summer camp in 2017, over 100 students from the Batesville area have gained awareness of engineering concepts and the exciting possibilities of STEM-related careers.
