Middle School Engineering Exploration Program (MSEEP)
Program Overview
Through our parntership with the , we provide workshops for middle school students (grades 6-8), introducing them to core concepts within a variety of disciplines including civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science.
This year, we are offering three sessions, one on mechanical engineering on April 16th and two on computer science on April 23rd and April 30th. Students are welcome to sign up for one, two, or all three sessions. Parents and younger children (who are supervised by a parent) are also welcome to join. However, this content is designed specifically for middle school students.
Please fill out our online form to sign up for the sessions. Walk-ups will only be permitted if we do not reach capacity through the sign-up form, so we highly recommend signing up in advance.
