Engineering is all about creating, building, and making
things better! So what does it take to be an engineer? If you like math and
science, you are off to a great start. If you enjoy discovering new things,
solving problems, and learning how things work - even better! Creativity,
persistence, and the desire to make the world a better place are also important
qualities. Becoming an engineer requires hard work and a good education. Our
summer program will be a great start to your career in science and engineering.
Applications close April 15 and program tuition is $200.
All students selected to participate will be required to
provide a nominal fee of approximately $200 which will include room and board,
meals, as well as a variety of materials. Plan on bringing extra cash for
snacks and souvenirs.
Each student is responsible for arranging transportation
to and from the Naval Academy. Those flying commercial air should make
arrangements to arrive at Baltimore-Washington International airport (BWI)
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Day 1 of the program, and depart after 3:00 p.m.
on the last day of the program. Buses and midshipmen escorts will be on hand to
get you to and from the Academy and BWI.

It's making us smile just
to be able to offer you this fun volunteer opportunity! We have
immediate need for volunteers to assist with the "happiest 5K on the
planet" - The Color Run - this February 9th!
The Color Run is a
feel-good, happy, colorful event. "Color Runners" of all shapes and
sizes happily go from wearing pristine white clothing, to being covered in
prismatic color. At each kilometer mark, a different color of powder fills
the air and covers the participants, creating an ever-increasing spectrum of
color and beauty. At the finish line, the color festival kicks off and the
air is filled with millions of vivid color combinations as participants get
in on the color throwing fun as well. For more information, go to www.thecolorrun.com,
follow us on Facebook
or check out this video!

VOLUNTEER
OPPORTUNITIES
Packet
Pickup
Thursday, February 7 10:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. If you want to run in the race, but would still like to have The Color Run volunteer experience, this volunteer opportunity is perfect for you! It will be a day full of fun, direct communication with excited Color Runners and experienced Color Run Staff, handing out race packets to excited runners at our packet pick-up location. Click to register
Race
Day Check-In
Saturday, February 9 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. Be the first smiling face a new Color Runner sees on race morning! You will check in runners and hand out shirts, color, bibs, etc. This is a fun, fast-paced volunteer position! Click to register
Captains
of Fun
Saturday, February 9 7:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. So, you want to stay clean, but still get in on the fun? This unique volunteer position will find you assigned to fun jobs such as Race Day Check-In, Finish Line, Star Line, Color Store, Festival Help (that would be revving up the crowd by dancing, distributing color to runners for the color throws and other fun stuff!) Click to register
Color
Zone
Saturday, February 9 7:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. This is quite possibly the most fun volunteer job we've ever offered! You will be throwing powdered color at Color Runners as they pass the 4 color stations. Then, of course, you'll sweep up the color. This is a colorful (that means messy) job and a high intensity job, so you'll want to wear old clothes, be over 16 years old, able to follow directions and able to lift a minimum of 25 lbs. Act fast - these spots fill up fast! Click to register
If you just want to run but don't want to volunteer, you can
