Intellectual Practice Program Mini Tours

Schedule

Why Tour

Hang with us as we travel the US and it's most exciting cities to watch some of the coolest science geeks make history and attempt the impossible.

Our Mini Tours were created to give potential Intellectual Practice Program students ideas about different projects they might want to explore with our coaches.

Participants learn about STEM and what it takes to be successful in these fields.

Parents also learn a little something too, as they join us for our virtual opportunities. If you're looking for something fun, and educational to do, we've got you covered. Come see for yourself. We are requesting donations in the amount of $7 per person. Donation are tax deductible. All ages welcome.

All participants must RSVP beforehand by emailing us at ask@rebeccaeverlene.org

Virtual tour of some of the facilities related to Mechanical Science and Engineering.

Sail is a student-run organization that hosts an annual event in April for high school students to learn more about Computer Science and student life at the University of Illinois.

Visitors walk the assembly line virtually to learn what it takes to build a car and watch durability testing.

Shosuke Naokawa is a first year masters student at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign studying Civil and Environmental Engineering. He is going to share his experiences in the industry, why he decided to pursue his field, what his goals are, what it took to get to where he is, the kinds of classes he's taking, how long it will take him to graduate, what projects he's working on and if there are any projects in particular that he finds fascinating in his field.

Visitors learn about the chemical composition of water, and the required conditions for creating ice sculptures. Chemistry expert Ryan Benavente will explain how temperature affects the ice sculpting process and the owner of Nadeau's will give a rad first look at some of his ice sculpting.
