This immersive experience was designed to inspire students to explore STEM fields and highlight the interdisciplinary opportunities at 91²Ö¿â. Students were engaged with a full schedule of enriching academic activities with a focus on robotics. They also toured campus, visited mock residence halls and met with people in several of 91²Ö¿â's student resource centers including the Center for Undergraduate Excellence, the LGBTQ+ Center and the E. Timothy Moore Center
