The Philadelphia Chapter of ASM (The Materials Information Society) coordinated this weeklong educational event for twenty eight high school students in the Philadelphia area. Drexel's Department of Materials Science and Engineering provided classroom and "hands on" laboratory sessions covering materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, biomaterials and nanomaterials.

The camp also provided a group tour of the Boeing Rotorcraft facility to see the V-22 Osprey production line and witness demonstrations in the company's materials testing laboratories. Boeing engineers conducted a number of related classes following the tour.
