Students were exposed to all the variety of different Engineering disciplines that exist, comprehensive skill set of engineers, pathways into the field while overcoming obstacles, and in depth information of Boeing's revolutionary 787.
Camp Road Middle School
On February 5, 2020, over 600 Camp Road Middle School students participated in job shadowing at various job sites around Charleston and beyond. Several businesses, such as the Charleston City Police Department, The Citadel, SC Dept of Natural Resources and Federal Wildlife Service set up a day of shadowing.
MIT Initiative
Two students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) aid a visit to over ten CCSD schools to encourage young girls to pursue science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) studies, and career paths. The MIT Women's Initiative is a student-founded and student-run program that aims to help close the gender gap in the STEM fields.
