This camp is funded by a grant from the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education. Northwestern will play host to the camp along with High Plains Technology Center of Woodward, OG&E, and NextEra Energy, the largest producer of wind and solar power in the nation.

“This is a great educational opportunity for these high school students,” Dr. Tim Maharry, professor of mathematics and chair of the mathematics and computer science department, said.

During the camp, students will engage in hands-on learning with professionals in higher education as well as professionals in the field of renewable energy.
