The program centers around a confidential, future-focused innovation challenge, encouraging students to imagine and build what's next rather than simply what already exists.
Camp S.W.A.G. Academy's S.O.L.A.R.-X™ Innovation Project Lab is a three-week, multidisciplinary summer program designed for students entering grades 8-11. Participants work in teams on a confidential, future-focused innovation challenge, moving a proposal from concept to a working solution. The program emphasizes hands-on execution, integrating project management, creativity, research, responsible AI, teamwork, sustainable energy, and real-world problem-solving. Students will research, plan, design, develop, integrate, test, troubleshoot, refine, and complete a working team solution. The curriculum includes structured guidance in project management, responsible AI, design, teamwork, sustainable energy, and supervised electrical systems. The experience culminates in a Saturday Judged Showcase & Awards Luncheon where teams present and defend their solutions.
Students work in visually separated project areas, coming together for shared instruction, lunch, and career/field experiences. Daily activities involve research, planning, design, development, integration, testing, and troubleshooting their team's solution.
This program is ideal for motivated students in grades 8-11 interested in hands-on projects, creativity, leadership, sustainable energy, design, technology, research, or problem-solving, who are prepared to collaborate as part of a project team.
