Spring Events
In the spring of 2022, we continued our workshops over Zoom. These workshops marked the end of the first complete year's worth of workshops for the Jr. BME Program.
How To Build Your Own Lego (Fusion 360) Slides Video
Make Your Own Game from Code (Python) Slides Video
Starting in the Fall of 2023, with a new team transitioning in, the Jr. BME program would transition to a hybrid format: half of the workshops would be held online and the other half in-person, on campus at UCI! This would allow the program to be flexible for students and provide them with opportunities to take part in as many activities as their schedule would allow. Additionally, instead of focusing on just one high school, the program expanded to include all high schools within the neighboring areas of Irvine (20 mile radius) to better reach as many underrepresented communities as possible.
