DENTON (UNT), Texas -- Building on the success of its popular Robocamp engineering camps, the University of North Texas College of Engineering is offering a series of summer camps at both UNT's Research Park and the UNT Dallas campus geared for young women entering the 8th through 12th grades. The camps are called "EChallenge Camps," and are conducted by members of the UNT College of Engineering Department of Computer Science and Engineering, with assistance from students from various departments in the college. In addition to offering the Robocamp for the third summer in a row, an advanced Robocamp will be offered for the first time for returning students.
