• Middle School U-Design

     http://www.bu.edu/eng/u-design/ 

Each summer, the College of Engineering offers U-Design, a fun STEM program with focus on engineering for children entering grades 7-10. Experienced science and engineering technology teachers lead each U-Design workshop and Boston University Inspiration Ambassadors serve as mentors. Each workshop offers a hands-on experience to give young students the opportunity to learn about engineering and broader STEM concepts. Students use their creativity and apply the engineering design process as they experiment, design, analyze, build and solve challenging problems.
