K-12 Outreach

EDUCATING AND INSPIRING
THE NEXT GENERATION OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS

Dedicated STEM outreach to K-12 students is not only a component of many of our grants, but it is an integral part of our culture and shared commitment to inspiring future engineers. Our faculty seek to make an impact by transitioning their technical and professional expertise and resources to benefit our local community and the world at large. Below are highlights of our outreach efforts this year.

Science and Technology Education Partnership Conference GOES VIRTUAL IN 2020

Hosted by the Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering, the Center for Environmental Research and Technology, and in partnership with Bourns, Inc., the Science and Technology Education Partnership engages hundreds of K-12 students, teachers, and administrators to foster interest in the field and offer tools of success. This year, two of our faculty members, Matt Barth and Basak Guler, conducted virtual lessons on Smart Cities and Transportation and Artificial Intelligence and Security.

ROBOTICS CAMPS BACK IN-PERSON THIS SUMMER!
UCR SUMMER ENGINEERING PROGRAM

Hosted in partnership with Redlands Unified School District, this summer robotics camp has middle and high school students building functioning robots and using a controller application to interact with it. This year, the camps were hosted by faculty members Konstantinos Karydis and Roman Chomko - and attendance for the high school camp nearly doubled.

“Our goal is to help them make a more educated decision regarding their future academic and professional paths, whether these include robotics, only a component of it, or another STEM-related area.”

- Konstantinos Karydis, Assistant Professor

“Both camps were just the right opportunity and time to expose, engage, motivate and challenge students coming out of the pandemic and inspire them to pursue a career in STEM.”
