Discover the world of engineering through a week of hands-on challenges that span multiple disciplines — from human-centered design and electrical circuits to environmental and biomedical innovation. Through engaging projects and teamwork, students will develop critical thinking, creativity, and real-world problem-solving skills while learning how engineers design, build, and test solutions that shape our everyday lives.
This immersive camp gives students a hands-on introduction to diverse fields of engineering, guiding them through the full design process across multiple specialties. The week begins with a human-centered design challenge — creating a functional wallet — and progresses into electrical engineering with basic circuitry involving switches and light bulbs.
Midweek, students tackle an environmental challenge by designing and building water filtration systems, followed by a biomedical engineering project where they construct a prosthetic hand and explore biomechanics. Mechanical engineering is next, with rubber band-powered car builds that emphasize force, motion, and design iteration.
The camp wraps up with an exciting Engineering Olympics — a friendly, fast-paced competition that brings together all the skills students have built throughout the week. Along the way, students practice budgeting, build bills of materials, and present their projects, gaining skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

Education Unlimited believes in small-group, immersive learning with subject matter experts and experienced teachers. We strive to provide industry-leading instruction to all of our students and hold all staff to the highest possible standards. Staff assignments vary by program and location. Some of our recent staff members for this program include:
Jana Rida - Instructor
Jana Rida earned her Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering from the University of Michigan-Dearborn. During her time at the university, she served as an Engineering Laboratory Instructor, where she taught and mentored over 120 students across core engineering disciplines, including electrical, biomedical, mechanical, computer, and environmental engineering. In addition to her teaching role, Jana was elected Student Body President, representing more than 9,000 students and leading initiatives that advanced accessibility, inclusion, and academic success.
For her senior design project, Jana led the development of an interactive training device that simulates ACL injuries in high school female athletes. The project earned theAlumni Innovation Award— one of the highest honors at Senior Design Day.is also an active member of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Detroit Chapter, where she currently serves as Networking Chair. She is passionate about inspiring the next generation of engineers through creative, hands-on learning that brings engineering concepts to life. She looks forward to helping students discover how engineering can shape a better, brighter future for everyone.
