Are you a high school student looking for volunteer opportunities?

If so, you can apply to be a Counselor in Training (CIT) for our Girls in Engineering summer camps. CITs must be entering at least the 10th grade during the summer when they volunteer. Please visit the Volunteer Page to learn more about being a Counselor in Training.

You can also sign up for our Mailing List if you’d like to receive updates about the 2022 Counselor-in-Training program.

Join us!

At GiE, we cultivate a fun, non-threatening environment that is designed to show how exciting engineering can be.

During camp, participants explore engineering, meet new friends and mentors, and develop their teamwork skills. GiE participants come from all over the Bay Area, with diverse interests and various experiences with engineering. While some campers already love engineering or science, for many this is their first time exploring engineering.

FULL SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE!

Join us to see how fun engineering can be!

Inspiring the Next Generation of Engineers

The Berkeley Girls in Engineering program is a week-long, non-residential summer camp for San Francisco Bay Area students entering 6th, 7th, and 8th grades to explore different aspects of what it means to be an engineer in a fun, hands-on environment. Participants will learn leadership skills such as goal setting and effective communication, and engage in activities that showcase different engineering disciplines. Campers will also design and create engineering projects throughout the week under the guidance of Berkeley faculty, staff, and students.
