Boys and girls in grades 9-12 are invited to Pitt SWE’s High School Virtual Engineering Exploration Challenge! This program will consist of three sessions and will take place on Saturdays, October 16, 2021, October 23, and October 30th through Zoom.
The goal of this event is to expose and introduce high schoolers to different types of engineering disciplines ranging from bioengineering to electrical engineering to mechanical engineering and more. In order to fulfill this goal, students will have the option to attend panels with Pitt students in various engineering disciplines that students may be interested in. Not only will they attend panels, but high schoolers will also be presented with a challenge in the field of engineering they select to learn more about. The challenge will involve them creating a prototype/presentation for an innovative prompt in that respective engineering discipline so they can explore more about the discipline they chose. Students will be assigned a group with other high schoolers who also express interest in the same engineering discipline and they also will be assigned a college engineering mentor to help them through the engineering challenge. For this program, students may need to work outside of the dedicated brainstorming sessions over the month of October to further brainstorm their solution and design their prototype and presentation. Prizes will be awarded for best prototypes!

Registration for this event will be limited and on a first come first serve basis. Please fill out the Eventbrite if you anticipate being able to come to all three sessions and work on the challenge outside of the dedicated challenge sessions.

All attendees will need a device to access Zoom for this workshop. More information regarding Zoom will be sent after registration.
