Pre-Engineering Program (PEP) Fall Term
Recurring: 5 dates
UConn Hartford Campus, Hartford
About this event
The Pre-Engineering Program (PEP) is a Saturday enrichment program for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who are curious about how things are built and how they work! Through hands-on activities, teamwork challenges, and real-world problem solving, students explore the same science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts that engineers use every day. By sparking curiosity now, PEP helps students see how their interests in STEM can grow into future opportunities in high school, college, and beyond. Each PEP session, the STEM presentation and activity will be led by students from a different undergraduate or graduate student group within the Vergnano Institute for Impact. Students will be able to ask about their experiences as engineers, advice for succeeding in school, or even life as a college student. If you have any questions, please contact engr-pep@uconn.edu.
