NSPE-CO is committed to cultivating future engineers!
Two of the programs NSPE-CO supports are Bridge Building (primarily senior high students) and MathCounts (middle school students).
If you have a youth program that supports the goal of cultivating future engineers, please contact us at the State Office so we can share information with our members, students and the general public.
Develop the next generation of engineers
Denver Public Schools CareerConnect is seeking engineering companies to host interns this summer from June 12-July 13. CareerConnect provides more than 6,000 high school students with career-focused courses in Colorado’s highest-opportunity industries (including engineering), experiential learning opportunities, and additional links to higher education.
Through the CareerLaunch summer internship program, students have the opportunity to explore STEM careers that they have been studying in school. Students work 25 hours per week, earn high school credit, and are eligible for a financial award based on their performance. They will learn the practical applications of their engineering coursework and can make meaningful contributions to their host companies.
