fields, necessary to be productive citizens in
the 21st century workforce. What happens at E3 Camp?:

​​Students will be exposed to the work (current and historical) of black scientists, inventors, and artists through hands-on experiences of electricity, solar power, coding, forensics, poetry/spoken word, engineering design, math, music, aerodynamics, and videography that engage curiosity, observation and imagination. We explore science/technology on a local level through the variety of ways they’re used by community workers.

“I am a former E3 camper in her junior year at UNC Charlotte. I’m majoring in Computer Science and am passionate about it. Since going to E3, I have spent time as part of a research program with The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine working with Machine Learning, and completed a 10-week full-time internship as a Data Scientist at LexisNexis in the summer of 2026.

I plan to finish my undergrad education in December 2027 and start a full-time career in technology following that. I am very grateful for the experiences I had exploring so many career paths at E3, and am glad the camp has continued to thrive thus far.” - Elise, former E3 Camper of 4 years

Friday was Day 15, our last day of camp for 2026. The morning began with an inspirational talk with Craig Williams a scholar/athlete that has just graduated from Hampton and is on his way to Boston University for an M.S. In Psychology.

Then we celebrated nine years of E3 Camp with friends, family and sponsors. The entire camp lined up to present the key takeaways from the on-site presenters and field trips. We thanked the many sponsors and volunteers who made the camp possible. We celebrated Ms. Anissa McLendon who is the life force that makes the camp possible. Her mother, Mae McLendon, was a civil rights leader and community activist. She was a strong supporter of E3 and was very missed this year.

A Camp Donor has created a college scholarship in her honor designed for an E3 camper who has graduated from high school and participated in E3 for a least 4 years. The first scholarship was awarded to Jonathan Okello.
