3rd-5th Grade Summer Opportunity
The Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) 2021 Program
The SEEK program is designed to be a fun and engaging educational experience, led by NSBE engineering students, technical professionals, and educators dedicated to pursuing professional excellence and giving back to the community. The SEEK Program utilizes a hands-on design curriculum, with a major focus on the Engineering Design Process. Working in teams, students use their knowledge to solve problems and create products while discovering the underlying math and science principles involved in these processes. Each week, the students will take on a new project, culminating with a presentation, design competition, and physical competitions that all parents are encouraged to attend.
• This (3) three-week program will be open to students who are current 3rd through 5th graders. Due to necessary adaptations stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic participants will have the opportunity to participate with SEEK virtually.
