The Engineering Projects in Community Service program, known as EPICS, is a national award -winning social entrepreneurship program. Students design, build, and deploy systems to solve engineering-based problems for charities, schools, and other not-for-profit organizations. During this program, students will be introduced to engineering design, rapid prototyping (laser cutting, CAD, Arduino, 3D printing), and prototype testing through a hands-on, application-based summer camp.
Each year, ASU's Walter Cronktie School of Journalism and Mass Communication hosts a summer enrichment media camp, Camp Cronkite, so high school students can dive head-first into media. By day, Cronkite faculty, staff, and student guides lead campers in hands-on learning in our state-of-the-art building on ASU's Downtown Phoenix campus; then, campers enjoy scheduled evening programming and end the day retreating across the street to Gordon Commons, our residential hall, for supervised R&R.
