Tech & Engineering Swiss Summer Camp


"Dear Madam/Sir,

I am reaching out to introduce you to the ‘Tech & Engineering Swiss Summer Camp’ which is scheduled to take place at the School of Engineering and Architecture of Fribourg (HEIA-FR), Switzerland, in July 2024.

This camp represents a thrilling opportunity to unite students from across the globe and professionals from diverse engineering backgrounds. We aim to provide an enriching and educational week, comprising classes, workshops, masterclasses, visits to companies and labs, as well as recreational activities. The primary objective of this camp is to enable participants to delve into the realm of engineering, refine their technical skills, cultivate their professional networks, and foster the exchange of knowledge in a welcoming environment.

This summer camp will enable participants to forge new friendships and to prepare their academic and professional futures.

With this event in mind, we would appreciate your support in sharing our announcement with your students. The camp is open to students aged 16 or 17 who are eager to participate. The camp program will be available in both French and English, providing participants the flexibility to select the language that best suits their preferences.

For further details and video presentation of the camp, you can follow this link: Tech & Engineering Swiss Summer Camp - HEIA-FR

To enroll, students who are interested can initiate the registration process using the aforementioned link.


If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via the camp’s e-mail address (summercamp-heia@hefr.ch) or my personal e-mail address: Joanna.nseir@hefr.ch.

We are also prepared to organize a presentation on Microsoft Teams or Zoom to provide a better understanding of the camp and its objectives.

We look forward to your response and send you our warmest regards.

Joanna Nseir"
