browngirlFrom my work email, feel free to pass on to any interested kids in grades 6-9 or their parents.
This is a reminder to all that the College of Engineering still has seats available in the annual U-Design summer science and engineering program for Middle School students currently in grades 6 through 9.
Creative thinking and critical problem solving are skills that American students need to develop to be competitive. For the past eight years,
Boston University's College of Engineering has offered a summer science program, [ http://www.bu.edu/eng/u-design/ ]U-Design which fosters these skills.
BU’s U-Design is based on a program established by UMASS Lowell in July 2000. As part of our 6th through 9th grade education outreach efforts,
U-Design's mission is to get middle and high school students excited about learning science and engineering, and interested in pursing careers in these areas. The program gives them the opportunity to learn about science and technology by engaging them in the real work of scientists and engineers; design, exploration, invention and experimentation.
U-Design consists of 2 one-week sessions in July and offers three workshops: Robo-Alley, Electrical & Mechanical Gizmos, and Flight School 101. The three different workshops are each built around a series of design projects and science activities that involve very interesting challenges. The program concludes on Friday afternoon with a family pizza party and design show from 4pm - 5:30 pm.
The 2011 program dates are: Week 1- July 11th – 15th and Week 2- July 18th – 22nd
Workshop tuition is $425 for a single session and $400 for an additional session.
U-Design will be held at Boston University during the following weeks and runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday -Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Workshop schedules are as follows below. Seats are still available in all workshops except Electrical & Mechanical Gizmos which is currently full.
Week 1 – July 11-15, 2011 – Flight School 101
Week 2 – July 18-22, 2011 – Electrical & Mechanical Gizmos
