The camp offers a unique opportunity to design, build, and test energy-powered cars using hydrogen fuel cells and batteries, combined with learning about the innovation process from local experts.
The Hamline University Young Physicist Camp is a weeklong summer day camp for high school students entering or currently in grades 9 through 12. It combines renewable energy, engineering, innovation, and hands-on fabrication. Campers explore how clean-energy technologies work and then apply their knowledge by designing, building, and testing energy-powered cars. Activities include interacting with local experts to learn about renewable energy, engineering, and the innovation process, from developing an idea to testing and improving a working design. Students will conduct hands-on experiments with hydrogen fuel cells and batteries, and utilize 3D printing to transform their designs into real components. They will also work in teams to design, build, and optimize two working cars—one powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and the other by batteries—and test their designs through performance challenges. The camp aims to enhance understanding of renewable energy and introduce principles and best practices of innovation.
A typical day involves interacting with local experts on renewable energy and innovation, conducting hands-on experiments with energy conversion devices, and working in teams to design, build, and test energy-powered cars.
This camp is best for high school students entering or in grades 9-12 who are interested in renewable energy, engineering, innovation, and hands-on fabrication.
