OUTREACH PROGRAMS SPONSORED BY MEP
| Success Institute |
This week-long summer workshop for minority, female, and first-generation
students entering grades 9-12 is packed with hands-on engineering activities
that expose kids to real life applications of engineering, math, and science.
Students learn about the wide range of engineering careers and make new friends
through this impactful summer opportunity. |
| Campus Visits |
MEP invites individual students and school groups to visit the CU-Boulder
campus, where they can meet our friendly, helpful staff, enjoy a campus tour,
check out a college engineering class, and, in some cases, participate in
engineering projects and activities. To schedule a visit, contact
our Acting Director Anthea Johnson-Rooen at anthea.johnson@colorado.edu
or (303) 492-4276. |
| MESA |
Working in partnership with the Colorado Mathematics Engineering Science
Achievement Program (MESA), MEP students visit area middle and high schools to
help teachers facilitate dynamic after school math and science clubs. College
student mentors instruct MESA members in the construction of projects including
balsa wood bridges, mousetrap cars, and egg drop containers while helping them
to understand that they, too, have the potential to become students in CU’s
College of Engineering and Applied Science.

Fall Fling
|
This two-day event brings 200 high school students from about 20 Colorado high
schools to the CU campus to compete in two separate engineering team
competitions: a boat-building challenge and associated race held in the CU
Recreation Center swimming pool and an annual engineering project competition
that serves as the National Competition qualifier. |
