Engineering for Kids Day at UC Berkeley is an annual one-day science and engineering education event for local fourth- to sixth-grade students. Attendees at Engineering for Kids Day engage in fun, hands-on activities led by Berkeley students from a wide range of engineering disciplines. Thanks to the generosity of volunteers and sponsors, this event is completely free for all participants and families!
E4K Day is hosted with the aim of decreasing demographic disparities in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. We work with Title I schools and local outreach programs to encourage the participation of underrepresented students from surrounding Bay Area communities. By providing these young students with exciting, memorable experiences in science and engineering, we hope to inspire a new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs.
Engineering for Kids Day is jointly hosted by two campus student organizations, Engineering for Kids (E4K) and the Engineering Student Council (ESC) and is the final event in ESC’s annual Engineers Week.
Engineering for Kids Day will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2020. Registered participants should have the photo release and activity waiver forms completed by a parent/guardian and turned in at the event.
Event-day details are available here.
E4K is grateful to all of our student volunteers. The day wouldn't be possible without them!
