For the second time SWE-CM is pairing with NSBE to host an “Engineers Are Epic!” apprenticeship in connection with Citizen Schools. Twenty sixth and seventh graders will have an opportunity to experience hands on problem solving over the nine week apprenticeship with activities such as building a catapult, creating slime and building an electrical circuit. Following the apprenticeship the students present a WOW! event to the community where they teach back what they have learned.
Come on out and join us for a Thursday afternoon filled with fun and learning where you too can become a “Citizen Teacher!” Please see our calendar for details.
