This camp was designed for students who are interested in music and/or sound design—a promising and rewarding career. Students are introduced to a broad range of topics and concepts in electronic and computer music, including:

• industry software and techniques for recording original music.
• recording original compositions for use in a game and a short film.
• a basis for music theory, sound art composition, digital audio sound design/synthesis, and workstations. 
• assignments and activities entailing listening, analysis, discussion, and hands-on exercises.

Ideal for students who might be interested in the following majors: 
Computer Science & Engineering

In this course, we will cover the basics of JavaScript - one of the most widely-used coding languages available - to learn how to code your own 2D video game. You will program character interactions, set up keyboard controls, add your own soundtrack, and more. At the end of camp, we will have a competition to see who can score the highest on each person's final game. Some programming experience is helpful, but not required.

This course immerses students in real-world scenarios, scientific inquiry, knowledge of human health, and associated consequences of environmental change and challenges. In addition to studying the basic principles of environmental sciences and human disease, students will examine the intricacies and relatedness of these two fields as we navigate an ever-changing world. This course also provides students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies to contribute scientific discovery and inquiry needed to best serve humanity and the world that surrounds us. By the end of the course, students will be prepared for taking high school biology, AP biology, or AP Environmental Science in the upcoming year.

Ideal for students who might be interested in the following majors: Computer Science

Interactive Computing focuses on the nuances of programming for interacting with the real world in two representative areas: autonomous robots and the front end of web applications. Students learn how to code a software model within the realities of physical hardware, how to write test suites, and how to systematically debug their programs. Through fun and engaging projects, students will learn programming-based problem-solving skills, such as teaching robots to navigate mazes and play soccer, developing online web apps to read sensors and control actuators in greenhouses, and automating devices at home with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.

Ideal for students who might be interested in the following majors: Engineering

In partnership with the LSU College of Engineering, Intro to Engineering will introduce you to the profession, ethics and diversity of the engineering field. This experience will allow you to explore the differences between engineering disciplines through guest speakers, tours and hands-on activities. Throughout the program, you will learn and develop skills in problem-solving, communication, decision-making and teamwork.

This camp has a $200 classroom supply fee.

Ideal for students who might be interested in the following majors: Computer Engineering

This course will involve students in the development, building, and programming of robots to accomplish various tasks. Students will perform hands-on work in teams to encourage knowledge sharing, reflection, and review. Topics may include motor speed, gear ratios, torque, sensors, program loops, project documentation, and decision-making.

Ideal for students who might be interested in the following majors: Civil & Environmental Engineering, Agricultural Science, Disaster Science & Management Concentration (Geography)

This camp offers a survey of the fundamental skills used in designing, assembling, and programming drones for indoor use. Student pilots learn flight and signal transmission suitable for flight controller programming and preferential drone mobility. Student teams will ultimately program, test, and pilot their drones competitively within an indoor race course.
