EPIC Lab

Three students work on iPads in the Outreach Lab

EPIC (Engineering Programs Inspiring the Community) Lab is an introduction to solar-water​ energy and is designed to give participants a glimpse of the environmental engineering field. This opportunity will provide them with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in math and science. Hang out with University of Nevada, Reno engineering students and participate in exciting ​activities from your own home!

In place of our in-person EPIC, we are offering virtual lab experiences throughout the fall semester. This lab will introduce 6th-8th graders to solar  and water concepts in relation to  a variety of engineering  disciplines. We are going to utilize Zoom and live demos from UNR faculty for participants to receive an “on-campus” virtual experience!

Are you a parent of a student interested in  engineering? Are you a scout leader looking for engineering opportunities for your scout troop or child’s science club? Are you a home-school parent looking for supplemental activities? Join UNR engineering students  and faculty  on a Saturday in our virtual lab!  

The EPIC provides exciting hands-on lessons in various engineering topics each semester. This  is a free service to the community provided by the College of Engineering. 

Dates:

Time: All labs run from 9:00 a.m. through 11 a.m.

All of our K-12 outreach programs are made possible through the generous support of The Mallory Foundation, Teichert Foundation and WEDCO. We appreciate their continued support.
