Greetings from BlueStamp Engineering!
Hope you and your students are having a great school year! BlueStamp Engineering (BSE) would like to extend your students the opportunity to apply to our hands-on summer engineering STEM program. As in past years, we will be giving a number of outreach presentations (10-20 minutes) in San Francisco. We can shorten or lengthen the presentation based on your schedule. Schools which participated in BSE programs in the past include: Mill, SF Waldorf, Lowell, Urban and many more.
At BlueStamp, our goal is to inspire students to learn what it is like to be an engineer through real experiences. Similar to a real engineer, each student documents his/her creative journey through a personal online portfolio with videos, technical descriptions of the work, milestones, and blog postings that are subsequently compiled into a single web page.
Below is all the logistical information for this summer’s San Francisco program:
