EVERYDAY ENGINEERING

Using the Ordinary to Create the Extraordinary

Massachusetts STEM Week 2022

This year for Mass STEM Week, students from all over the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will participate in a special project, “Everyday Engineering: Using the Ordinary to Create the Extraordinary”, which will deepen their understanding of the different branches of engineering and the variety of careers that they can lead to, all while having fun creating some of their own engineering designs using everyday items.

Mass STEM Week

Massachusetts STEM Week (Oct 17-21, 2022), is an annual statewide event that offers Kids in Tech participants even more opportunities to learn about STEM fields.

Previously, Mass STEM Week 2021, Kids in Tech students learned about AI and machine learning, with a final project that had them designing their own Smart Cities with optimized energy and water management, more accessible transportation, and advanced public security and safety.
