Attend a free hands-on workshop that explores man -made materials. Have lots of fun and learn about the science of materials, (AKA: “stuff’ ) from experts. High school teachers: its free, 5 days 40+ hours, full standards based physical science curriculum, free instructional content, free CEU’s. Join thousands of inspired physical science teachers who have attended. Students: spend a week in a real science lab, apply the scientific method and in a small team of peers solve a materials science mystery. Tons of fun. Free.
In 1999 the K-12 Outreach group was formed in the Office of Academic Affairs. Since then, the staff has impacted an average of 5000 students in North Carolina annually, in addition to 500 teachers. They have also participated in local, state and national collaborations to advance science, technology, engineering and math instruction in K-12 schools.
RIPPLE institute’s mission is to inspire young people to pursue careers in science, technological, engineering and mathematical fields of study. This mission is accomplished through an outsource model of community partnership/outreach. The RIPPLE Institute utilizes an outsource model that works with educational institutions to provide a core of basic skills that become the platform for high academic standards and achievement.
The School of Engineering is pleased to announce its Spring Engineering Education Days (SEEDs).
