Quotes
Read what TryEngineering Summer Institute Students and Parents have to say:
“The counselors, resident advisors and teachers were amazing! They were kind, encouraging and knowledgeable. It was an experience my child will never forget!”
“I loved the teachers; they were fun, humorous and made class great!”
“I had a blast and made new friends.”
“So many hands-on, project-based activities. I learned a lot that I didn’t know about many different kinds of engineering.”
“I’ve noticed a great change in my daughter after the [program]. She’s much more mature, more sure of herself; she acquired so much new knowledge.”
“Never in my life did I think that I would get to meet one of the engineers that had actually worked on the Apollo program!”
Support Tomorrow’s Engineers
TryEngineering empowers educators to foster the next generation of technology innovators – but we can’t do it alone. Help us provide resources to teachers and students worldwide by becoming a sponsor or partner organization.
TryEngineering has several ways companies can contribute to STEM education, from lesson plan development to sponsoring the STEM Summit for educators.
IEEE TryEngineering encourages STEM teachers and parents to interact with students by posting activities and resources on our website. Lesson plans such as The Popsicle Bridge and the Tall Towers Challenge have an average page view rate of over 1,200 per month. TryEngineering also sends monthly newsletters to our STEM Community with ideas on how to build STEM awareness in the classroom.
