Posted on September 15th, 2009 by als
Project Discovery is a one week program for high school females to explore possibilities within the field of engineering.
The program allows students to exchange ideas in an atmosphere where curiousity and enthusiasm, not tests and grdes, inspire learning. KU engineering faculty talk with students about the various fields of professional engineers. Students learn about the research methods and problem solving approaches that engineers use every day.
