The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley's Transportation Center for Railway Safety Camp is now open for applications.
The camp is a STEM-based summer camp for selected Rio Grande Valley high school students, but it's also open to the public for a $100 fee.
The program Director Dr. Constantine Tarawneh said the concept of the camp is to get students a taste of the STEM industry.
"What's the engineering design cycle, what are the fundamentals of, like I would say, Newton's Laws, you know, speed, velocity, friction. Like some of the concepts that will become a part of rail safety, developing, for example, positive train control, looking at ways to improve the safety of rail. So a lot of that is just kind of like giving them a flavor in STEM," Tarawneh said.
The camp is a week long-running from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. every week in June; there are about 1,300 openings.
