Preparations are underway for a fun-filled summer packed with Technology and Engineering fun at Osburn Hall on the campus of Millersville University. Dr. Len Litowitz leads his collective of engineering experts to bring a wide variety of interesting and challenging topics for your summertime camper to experience during these week-long day camps.
Check out the morning and afternoon sections by following the schedule link below. The link will give you descriptions of the camps and the topics.
2024 Technology Camp for Kids Schedule
This year, through the generous support of MANTEC and LancasterMakes as a program of the Lancaster County Career & Technical Foundation, the first 70 registrants to camps with a green dollar stretcher label ($) will receive $100 off of the registration cost! This offer is limited to one registration per camper for the summer season.
LancasterMakes is focused on increased career exploration and public awareness if Lancaster’s high-priority trade and technical occupations. MANTEC is one of seven private not-for-profit Industrial Resource Centers strategically located throughout the state. The IRCs help manufacturers succeed with assessment, technical expertise, and training.

There’s a new competition underway in Pennsylvania called, Farm in the Classroom. The competition is the result of a collaborative effort between Dr. Sharon Brusic, Professor in Applied Engineering, Safety & Technology (AEST), and Tommy Kuhns, undergraduate student in Technology & Engineering Education (TECE) who is serving as the contest facilitator.
The Farm in the Classroom competition was designed by Brusic & Kuhns to promote more awareness and interest in sustainable agriculture – specifically hydroponic and aquaponic systems. Hydroponics is the practice of using nutrient rich water to grow plants. Aquaponics is an extension of hydroponics that utilizes the waste that fish produce as nutrients to support plant growth. Brusic & Kuhns received funding through the Agriculture and Youth Grant program through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture to organize and implement this innovative contest for Pennsylvania middle school and high school aged students. The competition invites student teams to design, build, and test a hydroponic or aquaponic system.
