Washington Transportation Camp<\/b><\/a><\/p>\nWashington Transportation Camp is a <\/span>FREE<\/b> 1-week residential summer camp that will give highly motivated Washington state high school students the opportunity to explore the wonderful world of transportation through classes, lab tours, field trips, and student-led projects. Co-sponsored by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).<\/span><\/p>\nHere are a couple quotes from our volunteers:<\/strong><\/p>\n“I really enjoyed seeing each young student take on a simple yet difficult challenge and work together to solve it. It was awesome to see their determination and teamwork, I’m excited to see them take this work ethic into their future endeavors.”<\/em><\/p>\n\u2013<\/em>\u2013Niraj L Mali, PacTrans Graduate Fellow<\/p>\n\u201cIt was so much fun interacting with all of the younger students as they were solving the puzzles. Each of them had their own methods and techniques, and it felt like a win for all of us once they finished them. I\u2019m excited to see what\u2019s in store for these future students in engineering!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\u2013<\/em>\u2013Derek Lee, PacTrans Graduate Fellow<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260501_131315-1024x577.jpg\")
