The five-week program (one week of engineering and four weeks of architecture) engages high-school students in hands-on investigating, design, construction, and experiential learning as they spend time living and learning on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe program helps students to imagine STEM careers and the college paths that would lead to those careers,\u201d says Chris Beimborn, 51ÁÔÆæ EnQuest coordinator and STEM outreach manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the college\u2019s Makerspace, the 16 students of the engineering cohort created a solar power station that will be installed in a community garden shade pavilion that the architecture cohort will build in the coming weeks. They used kits contributed to the college’s pre-college outreach programs by Creation Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to working on their real-world project, the group visited the Virtual Reality Infrastructure Lab and the Foundry, met faculty members, took part in a game design workshop with a Girls Who Code instructor, interacted with our college\u2019s students and participated in college and career readiness sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engineering students presented their work to families and guests on June 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s group of students attend the following MPS high schools: Audubon, Bay View, Golda Meir, Hamilton, Marshall, Reagan, Riverside University and Rufus King. Many belong to year-round NAF Academies that provide STEM career exposure and work-based learning in their schools. They learned about the opportunity from teachers, counselors, and parents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
