This multi-year program offers a sequential academic pathway with advanced content and mentorship, with some levels accredited by the Texas Education Agency for high school credit.
The UT PREP and STEM Academy Camps at The University of Texas at Austin offer advanced STEM programs for middle and high school students. These rigorous and rewarding camps provide an immersive experience in various STEM fields, including mathematics, science, engineering, computational thinking, and computer programming. Students engage in inquiry-based, hands-on activities, project-based learning, and collaborative group work. The curriculum is designed to align with in-school learning and offers opportunities for career exploration and mentorship.
Participants will gain increased confidence in STEM, develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills, and build strong foundations in key STEM subjects. The program includes interactions with industry volunteers, university researchers, and current UT students. Campers will also explore the UT Austin campus, tour research labs, and utilize facilities like Gregory Gym for recreational activities. The multi-year UT PREP pathway, which must be completed sequentially, can lead to high school credit for certain levels.
UT PREP students arrive on campus by 8:30 a.m. and take four courses each day, which vary by PREP level. Each week, students also participate in sports/games, interact with career speakers, and explore labs and other UT facilities.
The ideal student is a middle or high schooler with a strong interest in STEM, seeking challenging academic content, career exploration, and mentorship in a university setting.
