Our Mission

Expand awareness of and opportunities in engineering and the applied sciences, especially for under-served and under-represented groups, by providing formal and informal K-12 educators with affordable, hands-on training in how to teach engineering and applied science disciplines as relevant, engaging, and open to all their students.

Goals:

• Reach educator audiences that have had limited opportunities in or exposure to engineering and applied science activities.
• Provide hands-on workshops for both formal and informal K-12 educators, using interactive content and materials that are easily reproduced, low-cost, grade-appropriate, and culturally appropriate.
• Include subject-matter experts in developing and delivering workshop activities.
• Align with community partners to ensure sustained engagement with participants before, during, and after workshop events.
