Engineering Programs Inspiring the Community (EPIC) Lab
Are you a parent, scout leader or home school educator looking for engineering activities for your student or student group? Sign up them up for a free EPIC Lab, an on-campus workshop taught by University of Nevada, Reno students.
The EPIC Lab offers exciting, hands-on lessons across a range of engineering topics designed to spark curiosity. Students will learn about one discipline of engineering and participate in two to three interactive learning opportunities during the EPIC Lab lesson.
Each EPIC Lab requires a minimum number of participants. If that number isn’t met, the lab will be cancelled at least five days in advance and registrants will be notified by email.
EPIC Labs are free — but spots are extremely limited and fill quickly. Don’t miss out — secure your spot today by clicking on the respective links below!
