What happens when you enroll your teenager in summer Energy Camp?

Posted by Ginny Skalski

There’s a lot more to summer camp these days than doing crafts and building fires. At North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC, students can sign up for Design Camp, Football Camp, Science Camp and even Energy Camp. You read that right – Energy Camp.

The NCSU College of Engineering offers a variety of summer camps, including a camp where students learn about the different forms of energy and how to conserve it.

And, of course, we love the idea of Energy Camp. After all, Cree’s products —  from Schottky diodes, to our LED components and LED fixtures — are designed to do more with less energy. And, what’s more, Cree’s history is rooted in N.C. State’s materials science and engineering lab. That’s where our company’s founders first began working together on research that would later lead them to form Cree.

I had a chance to visit the NCSU Energy Camp a couple of weeks ago and sit in on the students’ lessons on LEDs. Here’s a video recap shot by yours truly:
