Learn about the History of MESA

MESA日活动 are geared to showcase students’ math and 科学 know-how. These future technical professionals have spent months creating and designing math and 科学 projects.

The project-based learning events include launching gliders, testing the strength of bridges, and evaluating human-centered design projects. These activities help solidify the core math, 科学, and 工程 skills students learn in class. The competitions bridge classroom learning with real-world applications and encourage students to think beyond what they learn in physics, 微积分, 或几何.

These experiences are particularly poignant for MESA students who attend low-performing schools, come from low socio-economic backgrounds, and are typically the first in their families to attend college.
