The events were planned and organized by UCR students who are members of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the Society of Women Engineers and the Associates for Computing Machinery, with help from the Bourns College of Engineering Office of special Programs.
All events are free and open to spectators.
High School Day, an outreach program to attract students who traditionally have been underrepresented in engineering. They will fly paper airplanes, morph their faces on computers and design new products out of household items. A Micromouse demonstration, tiny microchip-powered vehicles that navigate, mouse like, through an unknown maze, will take place at the tower mall. Also, students will compete to see who can build the best vehicle powered by the spring action of a mousetrap. A trivia contest that pits faculty against students, held in Bourns A265.
