Engineering Exploration Program
What is Engineering Exploration?
Engineering Exploration is a hands-on club where middle schoolers get to do what engineers actually do — take an idea and build it into something real. From construction basics to project planning, students learn the fundamentals of engineering design while getting their hands on real tools like drills, hammers, and more.
Learn the basics of construction and engineering design
Partner with local nonprofits on real-world builds
Work with real tools in a hands-on, supported environment
Develop project planning and problem-solving skills
Take a project from idea to finished design
Walk away with something built by you — used by real people every day
By the end of the year, students don't just learn about engineering, they live it. Every project we take on is built in partnership with a local nonprofit, meaning the things your student creates will go on to make a real difference in the community long after the semester ends.
Is Your Student Interested in joining?
Engineering Exploration is open to all middle school students. If your student is curious, creative, or just wants to pick up a drill and make something, this is the place for them. Currently, Engineering Exploration runs through the Bruins Club at Blevins Middle. You can sign up through the Bruins club directly or reach out to TQP regarding registration details.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
