About the Program
Cosog Nepal Summer Camp is a fully funded, 16-week online fellowship where up to 60 high school students and recent graduates across Nepal build real technology projects that tackle urgent environmental problems — wildfires, deforestation, air pollution, and more.
Supported internationally by the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) and RTX Corporation, our summer camp doesn't require any programming experience. We start from zero — then pair you with the kind of industry mentorship most students in Nepal rarely get access to (including mentors like the embedded systems lead at Yatri Motorcycles, AI engineers, and software engineers).
Completely free for students: participation costs nothing, project expenses are covered, and we work to support internet access challenges so cost or connectivity isn’t a barrier.
