BOLT provides a unique opportunity to experience a collaborative, research-driven environment and gain insight into cutting-edge biomedical research and career paths.
The BOLT (Bioengineering Opportunities and Leadership Training) camp offers high school students an immersive, in-person experience in biomedical engineering. Participants engage in hands-on activities, including 3D printing, building prototype medical devices, and conducting tissue engineering experiments like CRISPR Cas-9. The program emphasizes engineering design challenges, where student teams identify problems, brainstorm solutions, build and test prototypes, and present their work in a design competition. Students also gain clinical and laboratory skills through lab tours on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus and interactions with doctors, researchers, and industry leaders. The camp aims to foster creative thinking, empathy for individuals with disabilities, and the application of bioengineering principles to real-world problems, while also exploring various STEM career opportunities.
A typical day involves hands-on activities, learning about biomedical engineering principles, touring labs on the medical campus, and working in teams on a design challenge.
This camp is ideal for high school students entering 10th-12th grade in Fall 2026 who are interested in helping others, fascinated by medical technology, and curious about where engineering meets medicine.
