The Academy at Rutgers for Girls in Engineering and Technology (TARGET) is a one-week commuter summer program for middle and high school students. It aims to increase awareness of engineering career opportunities and encourage students to pursue careers in math and science-related fields. The program features hands-on activities, team challenges, workshops, labs, and projects facilitated by School of Engineering student mentors and faculty members. Participants learn about various engineering disciplines and engage in activities utilizing the engineering design process. The program fosters an environment for students of all backgrounds and abilities to collectively discuss STEM, collaborate on projects, and share their diverse experiences. It also seeks to dismantle negative stereotypes regarding women's capabilities in math and science.
Sessions are held on the Busch campus from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with program leaders facilitating workshops, hands-on activities, labs, and projects.
The program is ideal for middle and high school students interested in exploring engineering career opportunities and gaining hands-on experience in various engineering disciplines.
