Welcome to Youth Programs!
Youth Programs is a division of Michigan Tech's Educational Opportunity Department. Our primary goal is to excite precollege students about learning and higher education. During the school year, Youth Programs hosts educational events and programming for precollege students. Our busiest time is during the summer when we run Summer Youth Programs.
Competitive Scholarship Programs:
Women in Engineering: This highly competitive program provides high school women, academically talented in math and/or science, the opportunity to investigate careers in engineering. Practicing female engineers, educators and university faculty lead information sessions about many types of engineering. Each session includes hands-on activities, a team engineering project and time to interact with role models and talented peers.
Explorations in Engineering: This competitive program specifically targets students from populations traditionally underrepresented in engineering and science (typically minority or economically disadvantaged students). It allows high school students the opportunity to investigate college options and careers in engineering. Practicing minority engineers, educators and university faculty lead information sessions about many types of engineering. Each session includes hands-on activities, a team engineering project and time to interact with role models and talented peers.
Non-scholarship programs available:
Career Explorations: This is an intensive week-long look at a particular field or area of interest. There are over 50 explorations in six categories to choose from: Engineering, Science & Technology, Computers, Business, Outdoor & Environmental Studies, and Arts & Human Sciences. Participants will spend approximately thirty-two hours investigating their area of interest through classroom activities, hands-on laboratory exercises, and field trips.
