Motorola Innovation Camp (July 20th - July 24th)

Motorola Innovation Camp

The MSU Denver Innovation Summer Camp is a week-long, hands-on STEM experience designed for middle school students to explore fields like electrical engineering, computer science, and emergency response. Students work in teams to build and test real projects such as circuits, sensors, and “smart city” systems while being guided by university faculty, students, and industry mentors. Throughout the week, they develop problem-solving and teamwork skills and apply technology to real-world challenges focused on community safety.
