The 2026 STEAM Camp is returning this November, giving Georgia students an opportunity to explore engineering and transportation through hands-on activities and challenges.

The program is being promoted by the Georgia Department of Transportation and is designed for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

During the daytime camp sessions, students will participate in engineering design challenges, transportation and safety activities, creative problem-solving workshops and team-based competitions. Students will also have opportunities to learn from transportation industry professionals.

Organizers say STEAM Camp is designed to introduce young people to engineering and transportation careers while allowing them to see how science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics are used in the real world.

The 2026 STEAM Camp is scheduled for November 7 and 8, from 9 AM until 3 PM.

Registration is now open through the Georgia Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, or ITE Georgia. Separate registration is available for elementary students in grades K-5 and middle and high school students in grades 6-12.

More information and registration are available here:

Trion Middle School is calling on the community to help inspire the next generation.

Organizers say this is a great way to make a positive impact on local students by giving them real-world perspectives and encouragement.

Anyone interested in volunteering—or who knows someone who may be a good fit—is encouraged to reach out to Christy Brown at 706-734-7433 ext. 1203 or by email at christy.brown@trionschools.org.

Community involvement plays a key role in helping students succeed, and organizers say they would love to see strong local participation.
