Outreach

 
Our group participates in several K-12 outreach activities. Most are coordinated through the Women in Engineering Program  at the University of Maryland, including Exploring Engineering at the University of Maryland (E2@UMD), SPICE Camp and Stepping Stones to Your Future (SSTYF). We have also participated in several middle and high school programs, such as the FIRST Lego League and high school science fair research projects. You can see photos of some of our past outreach activities below.
