Upward Bound Math/Science program (SUMS) Summer 2002

Upward Bound Math/Science , formally know as SUMS (Success in understanding Math and Science) The program is federally funded by the US Dept of ED through the College Of St Scholastica .

The Students in the program come from northeastern MN and nothwestern WI. The students are in grades 9-12. In the summer of 2002 they came to our ECE Department to apply their knowledge to small robots and have fun.

The ECE Department was pleased to host a recent visit by the Cub Scout Pack from the Holy Rosary and Congdon Schools in Duluth. The scouts were learning about engineering for a merit badge. Four of our students: Tim Luthens, Pat Meyers, Brian Spranger, and Andy Witzke set up some nice hands-on laboratory demonstrations.
