Innovate
The School of Engineering & Computer Science invites rising 11th and 12th grade students to attend Innovate, a week-long residential camp at Baylor University! Campers will experience life as a Baylor student for a week, as they learn from ECS faculty, complete STEM projects, and build connections with current and prospective students. Innovate is designed to expose high school students to the academic excellence within Baylor's Engineering and Computer Science programs.
Innovate 2027
Camp Dates Coming Soon!
What to Expect
All students receive hands-on, interactive instruction from Baylor faculty and support from student leaders and staff. Campers will be assigned to a small group led by a current ECS student, and within this group they will reflect on the experiences of each day of camp.
Innovate includes a campus tour, college and career speaker, tours of Baylor research facilities, and other community-building activities.
This camp is NOT for high school or college credit.

Phone and Technology Policy
As a part of the Innovate experience, each camper’s cell phone will be collected upon check-in. This expectation is important to students’ overall experience in the program. We want each student to be fully present and engaged both in and outside the classroom during Innovate!
Campers have the option to check-out their cell phones during downtimes in the evenings if desired. If a parent/family member needs to contact a student during the program, the Innovate Camp Director is available to make that connection.
Campers are also asked to not bring personal laptops, tablets, or gaming consoles. Campers will not have Wi-Fi access outside of class and are expected to engage in the planned camp activities.
