NASSAU, BAHAMAS – This summer, hundreds of kids participated in camps across the country but there was one summer camp here in New Providence that welcomed eager future engineers through their doors.

Engineers play an important part in creating many things we enjoy and this summer, 60 youngsters got a first-hand introduction to the profession at BETA Camp.

The two-week-long engineering summer camp focuses on exposing high school students to key engineering disciplines.

Electrical Engineer and Camp Instructor Shonte Cargill, says Tuesday’s introduction will make all the difference in the future.

BETA Camp does not only target students in New Providence.

16-year-old, David Wallace says thanks to BETA Camp, he’s found a greater interest in the engineering profession.

14-year-old Xenon Seymour is sharing similar sentiments, adding he’s hopeful that one day he’ll become a successful engineer.
