TCU Supply Chain Business Tech Camp

Lead the Future of Business Technology

Ever wonder how your favorite candy bar starts as a batch of simple ingredients and quickly transforms into a fully packaged, ready-to-sell item on the shelf? Perhaps you’re curious about how smartphones are assembled, distributed and delivered around the globe on the same day – some through drone technology. Today’s supply chain technology makes all this happen, delivering easily accessible items your way, every day.

The Center for Supply Chain Innovation at the TCU Neeley School of Business hosts a summer residential program for Fort Worth-based high school students, providing a hands-on experience with opportunities to explore the world of business technology and learn how it drives innovation in the global supply chain. From AI and machine learning to geographic mapping and automated vehicles, you’ll discover how companies across industries leverage technology to improve efficiency and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace, and you’ll get a glimpse into future career paths.
