Have you ever dreamed of building your own robot?  Are you curious how apps can recommend your next favorite song or how self-driving cars know where to go?  At Iowa Engineering, we invite students to dive in and participate in hands-on programs and events. Explore the world of engineering through fun, interactive workshops and challenges. Meet college students, professors, and staff who are passionate about helping you grow.  We work closely with schools and community groups to make sure every student has the chance to discover their inner engineer.
