Gear up for an action-packed summer of engineering, innovation, and impact! In Put a Lid on It, students will explore the science behind helmet design and discover how protective gear helps prevent brain injuries. Through hands-on engineering challenges, they’ll design, build, and crash-test their very own safety helmets, applying real-world STEM concepts in physics, material science, and biomechanics.

But this camp goes beyond just design—it sparks important conversations. Campers will have the unique opportunity to meet a former NFL athlete who has experienced the long-term effects of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). They’ll learn firsthand about the importance of head protection in sports and everyday activities, making science both personal and powerful.

From brainstorming ideas to testing prototypes, students will think like engineers, problem-solvers, and changemakers—all while having a blast!
