Recognizing that an undergraduate support program cannot operate in a vacuum, but must build upon the pre-college experience. Women in Science and Engineering Program has developed an active outreach program to secondary schools. Our pre-college programs include the following:
Girls in Science and Engineering (GISE) - summer program
June 18-22, 2012 WISE GISE brings 7th and 8th grade students to campus for one week during the summer where they participate in hands-on science and engineering activities.
Health and Biomedical Engineering for Girls- summer program
June 18 - 21, 2012 An exciting four-day, day program for students who will complete the 9th-11th grades in June 2012.
RobotC for Girls - summer program
June 25-29, 2012 RobotC is a one-week, day program for students who will complete grades 8 - 12 in June 2012. The camp introduces students to computer programming in a fun and supportive environment.
