K-12 Students and Teachers

Welcome to the College of Engineering and Applied Science. Although our primary mission is educating college students, we have a commitment to the engineering profession and to the state of Colorado to encourage diversity and enrich the teaching of science and engineering concepts to younger students. We offer the following programs for elementary, middle and high school students and teachers:

• Kids and Engineering
  If your child has shown potential in math and science, likes to build things or has an inquisitive nature, you can encourage this by attending any one of a number of CU engineering outreach activities.
   
• Explore Possible Careers as a High School Student
  As a high school student, you have probably started thinking about college. If you are considering pursuing an engineering degree, we recommend you take advantage of the high school opportunities the College of Engineering and Applied Science offers to help you plan your education.
   
• Resources for K-12 Teachers
  Are you looking for ways to teach math and science concepts that will be fun and engaging for upper elementary and middle school students? We offer professional development workshops and classroom resources that will help you engage your students in learning about the world around them.
   
• Engineering for the Community
  The College of Engineering and Applied Science is involved in many aspects of the community, stretching from the Boulder/Denver area to the Western Slope of Colorado. Local events include the ITL Design Expo, which is fun and educational for the whole family, and various lectures on topics of current interest.
