Opportunities to explore and discover

Students build awareness about what engineers do through a variety of short, exploratory sessions led or supported by GE Aerospace engineers. These creative, hands-on activities in the classroom or community inspire young people and expand their understanding of what engineering is all about.

School teachers or administrators: please contact us if you are interested in hosting Engineering Discovery activities at your school. United Way Bengaluru will follow up with you to discuss more. Please contact nextengineers@uwbengaluru.org if you have any questions.
