The BOLD Center hosts, or collaborates with other departments on, many K-12 Engineering Education initiatives. The following events and programs are available for K-12 students:

• Success Institute
• Colorado Math, Science, Engineering Achievement (MESA)
• Girl Scout Badge Program
• Tours of the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory

Partner School Programs

The BOLD Center currently partners with Denver School of Science and Technology, Centaurus High School Pre-Engineering Academy, Skyline High School STEM Academy, and elementary and middle schools in Lafayette and Longmont, CO.

TEAMS

Tomorrow's Engineers... creAte. iMagine. Succeed. (TEAMS) is a partnership between the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley School Districts and the Denver School of Science and Technology to enrich the academic experience, particularly in science and math, for K-12 students. Through the TEAMS program students explore engineering in everyday life and come to understand how engineering impacts their lives. Hands-on engineering experiences allow students to:

• understand the role that engineers play in meeting the needs and dreams of society
• draw connections to meaningful applications of science, math and technology
• and, hopefully, become motivated to create a bright future for themselves through engineering and technology

At our partner elementary schools, TEAMS also provides resources for after-school TEAMS (engineering) Clubs. Students participate in fun, hands-on projects as they learn about the application of math and science concepts through the lens of real-world engineering. Why? ...because dreams need doing!
