AusPREP Summer 2023 Program
We are running two main programs this summer – Science Mill @ AusPREP and the HBCU C^2 Coding Camp.
Information about each can be found below as well as enrollment information.
HBCU C^2 Coding Camp – June 26-30!
Join AusPREP in June for a week-long coding camp where students in grades 5-12 will learn and practice coding skills using Apple devices as part of our Coding+Creativity (C^2) Center. Students will be grouped by coding experience and work on provided devices. Students will present their work on the last day of the camp in a community showcase.
$50 enrollment fee per student – includes supplies and daily lunch.
Science Mill programs – Week 1, June 12-16 or Week 2, July 10-14.

About Austin Pre-freshman Engineering Program (AusPREP)
Austin Pre-freshman Engineering Program (AusPREP) at Huston-Tillotson University is one of the Texas Pre-freshman Engineering Programs (TexPREP) located on college campuses in Texas. PREP was founded to identify high achieving middle and high school students with the potential and interest in becoming scientists and engineers and to reinforce them in the pursuit of these fields. TexPREP began in 1979 at the University of Texas at San Antonio under the leadership of Dr. Manuel Berriozabal and has been recognized nationally for preparing students for college engineering and science studies.
AusPREP will not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, sex, color, age, handicap, or national origin in selecting students for participation nor in the administration of this project. AusPREP strongly encourages women and students from minority groups, who have been traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering, to apply for participation. Middle school students who are currently in grades sixth, seventh, or eighth are encouraged to apply for PREP year one. Students currently in the fifth grade are encouraged to apply for the Pre-Algebra Institute.
