Engineers on the Go: For students in grades 3-5

April school vacation is the perfect time to introduce your future scientist or engineer to STEM in a fun and interactive way! Students will learn about the engineering design process from WPI Engineering Ambassadors, and then take part in hands-on activities led by WPI graduate and undergraduate students and special guest facilitators. Throughout the morning, students will gain a better understanding of what engineers do and how it impacts the real world. They will leave with the confidence to explore new opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics!
