Democratizing engineering education for the next generation
UpDraft Engineering was founded on a simple belief: every young person, regardless of their background, should have the opportunity to explore engineering and technology. Too often, these fields feel inaccessible, reserved for those with the right resources or connections.
We're changing that. Our hands-on engineering series brings practical education directly to students, complete with all materials and equipment needed. From building custom projects to expert insights from the industry leaders, we make engineering tangible, exciting, and achievable.
UpDraft Engineering offers an intensive, project-based curriculum that covers:
No costs to participate. All materials and tools, and computers are provided at no charge. We recommend that students bring their own computer if they have access to one, however.
We provide computers to students who need them, ensuring technology is never a barrier.
Expert instruction and a proven curriculum designed for real learning.
Mentorship opportunities and resources extend beyond the program, with more exciting opportunities in the future.
Engineering isn't just about building things—it's about solving problems, thinking creatively, and making the world better. The skills students learn in our program go far beyond technical knowledge:
These are life skills that serve students in any career path they choose.
