Teens Exploring Engineering Returns this Fall! | |
Teens Exploring Engineering is returning this fall, giving teens (aged 14-17) the opportunity to learn about being an engineer. Join us, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and GE Aerospace at the GE Learning Center to participate in fun, hands-on STEM learning activities, while hearing from real engineers about their day-to-day activities in the engineering field. In our second year, we are excited to introduce new building projects and new opportunities to learn!
The program takes place over two days, on Saturday, October 28 and Saturday, November 4, from 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. on both days, with lunch included! Teens and parents should plan to attend both sessions, as concepts build on one another. Cost to participate in the 2-day program is $25 per teen, which covers support staff.
With questions, or scholarship inquiries, please reach out to the Autism Connections program staff at connect@autismcincy.org.
