The daVinci Project

Residential Summer Workshops at the University of Connecticut’s School of Engineering

July 15-19, 2019

Introducing our students to engineering is a national need.  Most students love to be creative and to connect academics to the real world….this is what engineers do while making technologies that solve serious world problems.  The UConn School of Engineering is holding its 19th annual daVinci Project.   It is a weeklong (Mon-Fri) residential series of hands-on workshops for middle and high school science and math teachers. This year it’s being held July 15-19.  Teachers live on campus and participate in one of 8 very engaging workshops, as well as many other seminars, a variety tours through research labs, our state of the art water reclaim and wastewater facilities, and our CoGen plant.  Come and be part of an exciting week of exploration!  We have 33 fellowships available.  Please share this professional development opportunity with the other STEM teachers in your school or district. Workshop links below.

 

  1. Innovative Underwater Robotics for STEM projects – 8 Fellowships available
  2. Mathematical Optimization with Applications to Smart Grid and Intelligent Buildings – 10 Fellowships available
  3. Understanding Pain: Sensory and emotional stimulus to your brain – 2 Fellowships available
  4. Bioinformatics: Using Computer Science to Understand Life – 3 Fellowships available
