About UpDraft Engineering

Democratizing engineering education for the next generation

Our Story

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.

What We Do

UpDraft Engineering offers an intensive, project-based curriculum that covers:

  • Engineering Fundamentals - Explore different engineering disciplines and real-world applications
  • Hands-On Projects - Create projects like biomedical hands with carboard, games, and building challenges
  • Career Pathways - Understand college requirements and career opportunities in STEM fields
  • Expert Insight - STEM Panels and interviews with industry professionals to gain an in-depth understanding
  • Partnerships - Partnerships with community businesses and organizations to spread our impact
