California MESA

The RISE MESA College Preparation program concluded a year of water study with a four-day STEM event. Thirty-two youth came to understand that water has a right to exist, to not be polluted or wasted, in order to give everything and everyone life. ow.ly/wBrH50TeGlE

700+ K-12 students, caregivers and volunteers engaged with us on Saturday, June 1, at STEM Fest, presented by @UCLA and @mesastem, at the Michelle and Barack Obama Sports Complex in Los Angeles, CA!

@UCLA @MESASTEM Students participated in 60+ hands-on activities! They explored science in new ways, experienced technology in different applications, engaged in engineering activities, and embraced the fun in mathematics. Participants also BUILT and TESTED their own car! 🚗 🧬 🤖 🧮

Congrats and good luck to all the student teams headed to the state finals this weekend! Winners move on to the National Engineering Design Competition. mesa.ucop.edu/2024/05/15/eye… #Engineering #STEMeducation #STEMcompetition #ProjectBasedLearning
