The directory lists camps that have been hosted by Universities and research centers.

  • The Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP) for high school students
    In 1980 the Department of Defense initiated a program at the direction of the President to involve academically qualified high school students in hands-on activities and student-mentor relationships during the summer. This program placed students with research and engineering mentors in university and DoD laboratories. Working in close cooperation, the Departments of the Army and Navy were especially responsive to the White House directive. Building on existing programs at the American University and the Naval Research Laboratory, the Army and Navy began a model program involving the majority of Army and Navy Laboratories in the Washington/Baltimore Area. This program provided selected students with an eight-week summer apprentice experience. The program steadily expanded in scope each subsequent year, first under a grant with the American University, then with the University of the District of Columbia, and now with The George Washington University.
