Tech Camp Week 2

TechSplorers B

This program cycles through a variety of fun-filled STEM topics, which may include forensic science, computer coding, circuit building, freshwater ecology, kitchen chemistry, domino toppling, and more. All explored through dynamic, hands-on activities. Each day is a new adventure!

TechVenturers B

Forensics Project - Calling all investigators! The UNH Tech Camp Forensic Crime Lab has a high-profile case and we need your help to solve it! Employ cutting-edge techniques like fingerprinting, bloodstain pattern analysis, hair/fiber analysis, and forensic anthropology to digital code breaking, cryptography, and cipher cracking. Work collaboratively with your fellow investigators to collect intricate evidence and decipher clues to build a rock-solid case that your team will present to a jury and judge. Will you rise to the challenge and bring the perpetrator(s) to justice? 

Ripping Rocketry Project - In this high-flying program, you’ll become a rocket scientist! We'll design, build, and launch amazing paper-based rockets that zoom through the air. Every day brings a new challenge – hitting targets, reaching for the sky, or testing speed and distance. We'll uncover the history of rocketry and learn to measure how high, far, and fast our rockets fly. Get ready for a thrilling adventure in rocket science! 

Regenerative Medicine: The Planaria Project - Scientists are beginning to understand how to grow parts of the human body by studying organisms that already have this ability, such as planaria. Planaria are free-living flatworms that can regrow any lost body part. Students in this program will learn about regenerative medicine and planaria through a variety of hands-on activities in the lab. They will also design and perform an experiment that will determine the environmental factors that influence the ability of planaria to regrow missing body parts. This program is offered at no cost to participants. All levels welcome!

TechLeaders B

Regenerative Medicine: The Molecular Dynamics Project - Molecular dynamics involves the use of computers to put motion to molecules. This week-long program will teach students how molecules are put together and how they interact. Students will learn how to build and view molecules using a variety of hands-on methods, including virtual reality. Campers will expand their understanding of molecular geometry, bonding, structure, and dynamics, which are key factors in further developing “visuospatial” thinking. Part of a grant-funded workforce development initiative at UNH called NH CREATES, this program is offered at no cost to participants. All levels welcome! 

The Heat Equation: Studying Genuine Math, Physics, and Engineering - In this weeklong program, you’ll build your own computer simulation (from scratch!) to model heat moving through space and time using MATLAB—an essential programming language for engineers. Then, you’ll compare your results with real data captured by a thermal camera. Along the way, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of how mathematics and physics apply to real-world problems. Taught by a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at UNH, this camp offers a supportive environment that gives a sneak peek into life as a student in the UNH College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. You’ll leave camp with new skills, a fresh perspective on high school math and physics, and a clearer sense of the subtle differences between majoring in physics, mathematics, or engineering at the undergraduate level. Students entering grades 9–12 who have taken Algebra I are welcome; no programming experience required! 

Code, Create, Play: Turn Your Ideas into Art, Animation, and Games with Coding - Unleash your creativity and see your ideas come to life on screen by creating interactive games, amazing animations, and eye-catching art—all while mastering real-world coding skills! In this exciting summer program, you’ll learn JavaScript (JS), the essential programming language behind interactive web pages and apps; explore P5.js, a fun tool for designing visual media; and dive into Phaser, a game development framework that lets you bring your game ideas to life. Gain hands-on experience with text-based coding, build skills that transfer to other programming languages, and create original projects you can share with family and friends. This program offers an incredible mix of fun and education, helping you to develop creativity, critical thinking, and technical skills essential for today’s world. No prior coding experience needed—just bring your curiosity and excitement to learn something new. Sign up today and start building your coding skills this summer!

Do not enroll here unless you have received notice of admission from a Tech Camp staff member via email. If a student enrolls without applying and being accepted, the enrollment will be dropped.

Click the '+' on the block on the right to enroll. If using a mobile device, the block may appear on the bottom of the page. Review the Online Registration Instructions before enrolling for the best outcome.

Family Accounts are recommended for enrolling multiple children from one family in any UNH Youth Program. If you already have an account in our system, you will be asked to log into either a Family or Student Account after adding the program to your shopping cart. Be sure to use the username and password for the type of account you wish to log into. We recommend attempting to log into the Student or Family account before enrollment opens as this will minimize difficulty and time while enrolling. Email youth.programs@unh.edu if you require assistance recovering your account information. Do not create a new account if you have one already.

If you don't have an account already, you can set up an account at any time, even before you begin the registration process. When you create a new account, the email address provided in the profile should be that of a parent/legal guardian, not the participating student. Review the Online Registration Instructions before creating a new account.

UNH has partnered with CampDoc to quicken the enrollment process. Enrollments and payments will still be made here through our current enrollment system, but no registration questions will be required at that time. Within a few days of enrolling, the email provided in the student or family account will receive an email prompting completion of the registration questions.

It is important that a parent/guardian responds to the CampDoc email and completes the registration questions promptly. Families who enrolled a child in a UNH Youth Program in Summer 2023 or after will likely already have a CampDoc account. Even if the student already has a CampDoc account, a parent/guardian should log into the student's account to review and complete any necessary questions for a specific program or year.

All registration questions must be 100% complete in CampDoc before a student can attend a youth program.
