During the camp, the students spent time in MTSU chemistry and engineering technology laboratories and the MTSU Dairy and milk-processing plant. They toured Nissan in Smyrna and MTSU aerospace facilities at Murfreesboro Airport, learned how to make Sharpie pens and much more. The program ended June 8. (MTSU News and Media Relations photo)
