Since 2017, UCR has been hosting an annual Engineering R' Future (ERF) event to encourage ALL middle and high school students to explore various STEM fields by completing a design challenge and hearing from a speaker in the industry to further their education, knowledge, and curiosity in engineering.
This year, our theme is "Engineering R’ Earth", and it will be held on January 31, 2026 from 9:30am-4pm on the UC Riverside Campus. At this event, students will work in teams to design and build a sun tracking solar panel.
