The Drexel University Digital Development Camp, VirtuaQuest, is a specialized three-week in-person summer program led by College of Computing & Informatics (CCI). It provides participants with the chance to engage deeply with technology and digital development topics, guided by expert faculty and student leaders. Participants gain hands-on experience in areas such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, programming, and game development while building technical skills and exploring future paths in computing.
A highlight of the camp is the Auerbach Cybersecurity Camp Scholarship, which provides funding for students passionate about cybersecurity. This scholarship covers the camp registration fee, making the camp program more accessible for those eager to further their education in this critical field. Additionally, the Isaac L. Auerbach Cybersecurity Scholarship offers up to $5,000 to students who complete the camp and enroll in the BS in Computing & Security Technology program, supporting their continued education and career goals in cybersecurity.
The camp is open to rising high school sophomores, juniors, seniors and accepted CCI first-year students.
