Epic Lab: High School Mechanical Engineering (Ages 14 to 18 years)
About this event
Saturday, February 7, 2026 | 9:00–11:00 AM | WPEB 240
Step into the world of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno’s EPIC Lab, a hands-on engineering experience designed exclusively for high school age students!
In this power-packed session, students will explore the physics, forces, and real engineering of a special surprise topic. With guidance from University’s STEMbassadors and Mechanical Egineering Faculty, participants will design, build, and test their own working designs, gaining firsthand experience with concepts like energy transfer, projectile motion, torque, and structural stability.
Whether you're curious about engineering or already dreaming of designing machines, this EPIC Lab gives you a chance to think like an engineer, experiment boldly, and bring mechanics to life through an exciting challenge.
Join us on campus, meet UNR engineering students and faculty, and discover how Mechanical Engineering powers the world around you, one innovative build at a time!
