Part of the WPI mission is to inspire young diverse minds by reaching as many middle- and high school students as possible. By introducing young students to the principles of engineering in a dynamic hands-on environment, WPI’s specially trained engineering ambassadors teach students to innovate and engineer at a very young age. When your company sponsors WPI Engineering Ambassadors: you inspire and empower top-level college student leaders, you provide middle- and high school students with strong STEM role models, and you gain a direct recruitment pipeline to world-class talent.
