Throughout the year, Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering offers a variety of programs for K-12 students to excite them about and engage them in STEM. Our programs are designed to be interactive and fun learning experiences that provide opportunities for K-12 students to not only learn about engineering but also develop age-appropriate critical thinking, problem-solving, and design skills. All of our programs are free. We offer in-person programs, as well as offer a variety of virtual programs so that students from all over the region and beyond can participate.
