Longhorn Engineering Summer Camp
The Longhorn Engineering Summer Camp 2026 (LESC 26) is a free, interactive learning experience that will engage rising 8th and 9th graders in activities that promote the wide impact of engineering. Campers will experience for themselves how engineering mixes with art, sports, medicine, sustainability and more! Each day, camp attendees will learn a few engineering fundamentals through an engaging presentation by UT faculty and students, then see these concepts come to life through guided hands-on activities.
Many students who apply to LESC are outstanding students and leaders in their communities. In addition to academics, we also consider socioeconomic status in order to provide opportunities to those who are overcoming any social or economic hardship. Students who attend schools without engineering courses or extra-curricular activities are particularly encouraged to apply.
If you submit a complete application for the program, you will be notified about our decision via email by mid-May. We cannot guarantee that you will get your decision earlier than this date. Please note, this is not a first come, first serve basis program. All applications will be reviewed by a panel.
Registration information for LESC 2026 will be available in spring 2026.
