K-12 Outreach

Have you ever wondered how to design and build a robot? Are you interested in learning from and with current engineering students about what it's really like to be an engineer? The College of Engineering offers K-12 students the opportunity to participate in a signature program facilitated by College of Engineering staff or faculty or to attend one of our annual Engineering student organization events. 

In 2007, the College of Engineering established a K-12 Outreach program to encourage K-12 students to explore their personal interests and engage in interactive engineering experiences. Through these experiences, K-12 students meet College of Engineering students, faculty, and staff and to learn more about careers in engineering. We partner with schools and community organizations to build skills and spark excitement for future engineers, especially underrepresented youth.
