STUDENTS OF COLOR LEARN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING THROUGH TSEP, LIFTECH, AND PORT OF OAKLAND PARTNERSHIP
OAKLAND, CA (February 17, 2021) – Since The Social Engineering Project, Inc. (“TSEP”) can no longer take the 100+ Black and Brown high school students of color from Oakland, San Jose, and Sacramento to the Santa Cruz Mountains to learn: 1.) Work/Life Balance; 2.) STEM Careers; 3.) Entrepreneurship; 4.) College Readiness; and 5.) Personal Branding/Networking due to the COVID-19 Pandemic; we will still host Part 2 of our Virtual Camping Conference from March 6, 2021 through March 20, 2021.
With so much emphasis on computer science, coding, and software, people often forget about the other letters besides the "T" in "STEM." We need to prepare high school students of color to go college, pass their math, chemistry, and physics prerequisites, and major in other STEM disciplines, like engineering. This 3-Week Saturday program led by Liftech Consultants will expose students to structural engineering principles with the goal of motivating and inspiring these students to attend college and major in an engineering major. Week 1 will include an introduction of force, load, and structures. Week 2 will introduce drafting and design principles and provide feedback on the students' bridges. The final week will feature the bridge competition, other awards, and an overview of other engineering careers that they may be interested in pursuing in the future.
This program is open to high school aged underrepresented students of color nationwide and is free thanks to the Port of Oakland. However, if individual donors would like to make a contribution to the success of this program, they may support our fundraiser here. Students may register here.
