CREATE
Collaborative Research Experiences in Advanced Technology and Engineering

CREATE is a summer research program for sophomores, juniors and seniors in engineering and engineering related disciplines. CREATE provides stipends, lodging, and travel allowances, allowing students to spend 10 weeks at the Georgia Tech campus in Savannah. Through hands on research and interaction with faculty and graduate students, students become integral members of their research groups, at the same time learning about the research of fellow participants.
