This workshop is open to students entering grades 10–12 who have an interest in engineering, computer science, or applied STEM fields. No prior engineering experience is required.
What to Expect
Engineering isn't just a major, it's a way of approaching problems. Students who develop an engineering mindset early think more clearly about systems, constraints, and tradeoffs, and that kind of thinking carries across disciplines, not just STEM.
This workshop introduces students to the core habits of engineering thinking: defining problems precisely, generating and evaluating solutions, working with applied math, and understanding how design decisions involve real constraints. Sessions are hands-on and example-driven – students work through real problems, not just listen to descriptions of them.
Whether your student is aiming for an engineering program in college or simply wants to sharpen their quantitative and analytical thinking, this session gives them the vocabulary, the practice, and the confidence to say they know what the field is actually about.
