Throughout the event, students will participate in interactive challenges and activities that allow them to explore different areas of engineering, strengthen their problem-solving and teamwork skills, and discover what engineering can look like beyond the classroom.

A parent or guardian is required to attend and remain present with their student for the duration of the event.
