University of Michigan Winter 2024 Webelos Engineering Day

Presented by Tau Beta Pi, Michigan-Gamma

March 17th, 12pm to 5pm

The University of Michigan Engineering Webelos Engineering Day brings together scouts on campus to investigate the importance of STEM careers. Scouts spend the day working collaboratively with University of Michigan engineering students via several hands-on modules. Through conversations with students and team building activities such as the egg drop challenge, scouts can learn about engineering applications from their own first hand experiences. The University of Michigan has a long standing tradition of hosting Webelos Engineering Day to promote engineering to the next generation within a fun, interactive environment.
