  • 10/10 Pre-Engineering Program

    The Vergnano Institute for Impact (VII) is hosting our Pre-Engineering Program (PEP) - a Saturday enrichment program for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who are curious about how things work, how things are built, and how engineering can be used to solve real-world problems. Through hands-on STEM activities hosted by UConn engineering students, PEP gives middle schoolers a chance to explore engineering in a fun, welcoming environment.
