Geering Up is launching a new UBC Engineering Campus Tour program for high school (grade 8-12) students! This is an opportunity for your students to explore the campus, meet and speak with current university students, and participate in specialized activities (more details below). Since this is a new initiative, it is free of charge. All you need is to get your students to UBC Vancouver Campus.
