Students in the program, who come from across the country, are challenged to apply math and science concepts learned in their high school classrooms to solve problems, test theories, and learn to think like engineers. Offered through the university\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.jhu.edu\/outreach\/\">Center for Educational Outreach<\/a>, Explore Engineering Innovation is held in residential and commuter formats at more than a dozen locations throughout the country each summer, as well as online. Since its launch in 2006, more than 5,100 students have participated in EEI, and about 80% of EEI graduates have gone on to study engineering or science in college.<\/p>\n<p>Students supported by the Motorola Solutions Foundation awards will participate in the summer 2022 program on Johns Hopkins\u2019 Homewood campus in Baltimore, and at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, as well as on the campus of the University of San Diego in California. This grant marks the first partnership between the Motorola Solutions Foundation and the Whiting School of Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExplore Engineering Innovation has a proven track record of success in not only building students\u2019 skillsets, but also their confidence and potential for success in STEM,\u201d said Karen Borgsmiller, director of EEI. \u201cWe are so grateful that Motorola Solutions Foundation is working with us to provide this wonderful opportunity to 10 motivated and talented students across the country. I can\u2019t wait to meet the new scholars!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Motorola Solutions Foundation is the charitable arm of Motorola Solutions. Each year, it awards grants to organizations such as Johns Hopkins in support of technology and engineering education and first responder programs, prioritizing underrepresented and\/or underserved populations within those areas of focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Motorola Solutions Foundation aims to partner with organizations that align to our values of accountability, innovation, impact, diversity and inclusion,\u201d said Karem Perez, executive director of the Motorola Solutions Foundation. \u201cWe are proud to support organizations like Johns Hopkins Engineering Innovation that embody these values as they cultivate the next generation of diverse engineers and inventors.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-17953","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","news_categories-school-news","news_categories-stem-outreach"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
