In-Person Outreach Workshops

Perfect for both schools and afterschool programs, these multi-session programs allow students to take a deeper dive into STEM through thematically linked, cross-curricular learning. Students will engage in real-world applications, make career connections and cultivate problem-solving skills in specially curated experiences.

Engineering Is Elementary

GRADES 1 - 2 AND 3 - 5

Students will use the Engineering Design Process to design, build, and test their own solutions to real-world problems.

Mini Maker

GRADES 1 - 2

NC VARY BY MAKE, SC 1.S.1A, 1.S.1B, 2.S.1A, 2.S.1B, NGSS K-2-ETS1-1, K-2-ETS1-2, K-2-ETS1-3

Students will become makers as they design, create, build, innovate and problem-solve in this hands-on workshop. Students engage in a series of make projects that highlight STEAM, allow for self-expression and foster critical thinking.

MINI CSI GRADES 1 - 2 NC 2.L.2.2

Students will become detectives during this crime-busting workshop. Apply investigative techniques including fingerprint analysis, chromatography and chemical analysis to solve a mystery.

THINK IT, PLAN IT, MAKE IT

GRADES 3 - 5

NC VARY BY MAKE, SC 3.S.1A, 3.S.1B, 4.S.1A, 4.S.1B, 5.S.1A, 5.S.1B, NGSS 3-5-ETS1-1, 3-5-ETS1-2, 3-5-ETS1-3

Students will use tools and technologies to build, innovate, and problem-solve as they channel their inner scientist, engineer, and artist to create, think critically and cooperate on a series of STEAM-based makes.

Code Kids

GRADES 3 - 5

NC 35-CS-03, 35-DA-07, 35-AP-08, 35-AP-10, 35-AP-11, 35-AP-15

Students will get a boost in this indemand skill as they explore coding basics including functions, loops, conditionals, and troubleshooting through both plugged and unplugged activities.

Robotics

GRADES 3 - 5

NC 35-CS-03, 35-DA-07, 35-AP-08, 35-AP-10, 35-AP11, 35-AP-15, NGSS 3-5-ETS1-1, 3-5-ETS1-2, 3-5-ETS1-3

Students will use a variety of robots to explore coding and debugging. Can you program your robot to successfully complete a series of challenges?

FORENSICS CRIME LAB

GRADES 6-8

NC 6.P.2.1, 7.L.1.3, 7.L.1.4, SC 7.L.3B.2, 7.L.4A.1

Students will use technology to decipher evidence found at a crime scene. DNA analysis, chromatography, weapon matching, and spatter analysis are some of the tools available to student investigators to solve the crime.

BRIDGE BUILDING 101

GRADES 6 - 8

SC 8.P.2A.1, 8.P.2A.2, 8.P.2A.3, NGSS MS-ETS1-1, MSETS1-2, MS-ETS1-3, MS-ETS1-4

Student engineers will uncover the physics behind forces applied to a bridge as they design, build and test a balsa wood bridge.

DIVE INTO DISSECTION GRADES 6 - 8

NC 7.L.1.3, 7.L.1.4, SC 6.L.4.B.1, 7.L.3A.1, 7.L.3A.3, 7.L.3B.1, 7.L.3B.2

Students will gain an understanding of the systems of the human body and compare and contrast human systems with equivalent animal systems in this dissection-packed workshop.

Engineering Design Thinking
