About the camp

Rising junior and senior high school students!

BioE Buzz 2026 is now open for applications.

Dive into the world of bioengineering and spend a week with experts in biomechanics, biomedicine, biomaterials developing lab techniques, research skills, and more.

Campers will learn first-hand from students and faculty of the Department of Bioengineering about campus life and the exciting discoveries and technological innovations in our labs impacting human health.

Our one week camp, being offered at three different times this summer, will include the following:

  • An immersive team building activity with The Edge.
  • A team competition showcasing biomaterials, biosensing, and microbiology and wet lab skills. Winning team members will be offered the opportunity to have a one-week internship in one of our research labs.
  • Learn through hands-on activities with animal models, cell culture, 3D-printing, motion capture.

Tour the George Mason University MIX facility, the Nanofabrication facility, and experience the George Mason student experience by dining in on-campus facilities.
