Washington students return to UW campus for Engineering Discovery Days 2026

Washington students are gearing up to return to the University of Washington’s Seattle campus for Engineering Discovery Days 2026, an exciting event that opens the doors of science and engineering to K-12 students from across the state. This annual event invites young minds to explore hands-on activities, engage with innovative projects, and gain firsthand experience in various engineering fields. Discovery Days serves as a bridge between curiosity and real-world applications, allowing students to dive into interactive workshops and demonstrations that spark their interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Participants will have the unique opportunity to meet faculty, current students, and industry professionals who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for engineering. This immersive experience is designed to inspire the next generation of problem solvers and critical thinkers, emphasizing the importance of creativity and collaboration in engineering. By showcasing practical applications of science and technology, Discovery Days aims to demystify complex concepts and encourage young learners to envision themselves as future innovators. As students navigate through various stations, they will not only gain insights into engineering principles but also build connections with peers who share their interests. Engineering Discovery Days is more than an event; it is a celebration of curiosity and exploration, encouraging students to dream big and think about their future in the ever-evolving world of technology and engineering.
