Project Discovery is a one week program for high school females to explore possibilities within the field of engineering.

The program allows students to exchange ideas in an atmosphere where curiousity and enthusiasm, not tests and grdes, inspire learning. KU engineering faculty talk with students about the various fields of professional engineers. Students learn about the research methods and problem solving approaches that ebgineers use every day.

Participants tour engineering facilities at KU and meet engineering faculty.

The program culminates wih an awards ceremony and special presentations, where they share their experiences with parents, faculty and other Project Discovery participants.
