High school students interested in engineering, design, business and technology can explore week-long summer programs at the Marburger STEM Center at Lawrence Technological University.
Held on LTU’s Southfield campus, the week-long programs for ages 14-18 combine hands-on projects with a structured college-style environment. Students can explore careers in engineering, technology, business and design while working alongside instructors and peers who share the same curiosity.
“The first thing families tend to notice and value most about summer programs at Lawrence Technological University is the strong balance between hands-on learning and a supportive, college-like environment,” says JaJuan Jones Jr., Summer Programs Manager.
Students can attend as commuters or stay on campus in residence halls, giving them a preview of college life while working in university labs, studios and innovation spaces.
Work in real university labs
Each program focuses on active, project-based learning rather than lectures. Students might develop a startup idea, explore automotive or biomedical engineering, design architecture or product concepts, or work on robotics and programming projects using real university equipment.
“Students are not just sitting in lectures, they are actively creating, collaborating and solving real-world problems,” Jones says.
A typical day starts with breakfast and a morning check-in, followed by interactive sessions where campers work on projects individually and in teams. Instructors stay involved throughout the day, helping students develop ideas and stay on track.
“There’s a mix of guided instruction, group work, and independent creativity,” Jones says. “By the end of the day, campers often have evening activities, allowing them to engage with the staff and other campers to learn more about the college experience.”
Teens can explore what comes next
Students who thrive in LTU’s summer program tend to enjoy building, problem-solving and working through challenges with others.
“These are typically students who enjoy hands-on learning, whether that’s building a project, developing a business idea, exploring design concepts, or working through real-world challenges in a team setting,” Jones says.
On a working university campus, teens get exposure to college-level tools, instructors and expectations in a supportive environment. Many head home with something they created and a stronger sense of where their interests may lead.
“Parents most often appreciate the growth they see in their child’s confidence, independence, and communication skills,” Jones says. “Many students come home excited about what they created or learned.”
