This is funded by Children Youth and Families at Risk federal grant (CYFAR) totaling $725,000.  PALS is currently in year 3 of this 5 year grant. Activities include: archery, first aid, trust falls, Water Windmill Challenge, creating fleece blankets, photography and dance videos to name a few.

Women In Engineering

Access Engineering (Women In Engineering)

Access Engineering (AE) partners with local summer programs (K-8th grade residential and day camps), bringing hands-on engineering activities led by trained female engineering role models to summer programs based on our successful outreach model with afterschool programs for over 4 years (I2D2).  Through partnerships with organizations listed below we anticipate that WIEP will impact over 1200 K-8th grade students in one summer! Depending on the camp format, we will visit some camps more than once with a different activity each time over the course of the summer. We will assess the impact of AE on students' perception of and familiarity with what engineers do as well as their perception of and interest in engineering before and after the AE program.
