PreK-12 Opportunities
Case School of Engineering hosts and participates in a variety of STEM education and outreach activities for area school-age children.
Super Saturday Math Corps Program
In collaboration with the Leonard Gelfand STEM Center, CWRU hosts an eight-week winter math program that targets middle and high school students. Participants learn complex math concepts in a fun and nurturing environment while CWRU students serve as mentor teachers and high school students serve as peer mentors to the middle school students. The CWRU Math Corps program complements the summer Math Corps program held at Cleveland State University.
Envoys Program
Since 2006, the Envoys Program at Case School of Engineering has been training and mentoring high school students from Cleveland and East Cleveland public schools in STEM fields. Over the course of three years in the program, students receive 1,400 hours of individualized instruction, and their participation offers a pathway to enrollment at Case Western Reserve for college.
Additional Opportunities
Beyond K-12 programming options, Case School of Engineering supports a variety of community outreach opportunities for students and others to get involved.
Case Western Reserve University’s 50,000-square-foot innovation and entrepreneurship center is open to everyone—community members, faculty, staff and students—at no charge. Educators are among those encouraged to use this amazing resource while guiding students to join the growing maker movement and bring their ideas to life.
The Center for Engineering Action at Case School of Engineering exists to support student organizations that work with vulnerable and underserved populations. From design competitions to short-term study abroad opportunities, a variety of opportunities exist for students to engage in community outreach through this center.
