Mission Science  

 

Through its MESA program, the USC Viterbi School of Engineering in partnership with USC's Neighborhood Outreach offers an exciting program for community children and their families.
 
The fundamental purposes of Mission Science are to:

 

  • Reinforce children's natural curiosity about their world and how things work
  • Develop Curriculum that helps educators instill an excitement about science and technology
  • Offer "hands-on" exhibits, demonstrations, projects and experiments
  • Provide a real workshop, with tools and work tables
  • Expose students to careers in Math, Engineering and Science
  • Build self-esteem through success
  • Develop critical thinking through the successes and failures of scientific experiments
 
Students can work on Mission Science projects or projects of their own making. They can tinker with things and ideas, and learn about science in an informal atmosphere.
