UBC EDUCATORS ‘GEERING UP’ FOR ONLINE ENGINEERING SUMMER CAMPS
June 6, 2020
From CTV— One of the missions of Geering Up—the engineering outreach program at the University of British Columbia—is to teach young people about engineering, with the goal of inspiring them to go into the field as adults.
To fulfill that mission, Geering Up has traditionally held summer camps and year-round programs, often meeting people in remote and Indigenous communities in hopes of improving the diversity of the engineering profession.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the organization has been unable to follow that model during the COVID-19 pandemic.
