Get Involved

Attention first-years! Joining this committee is a great opportunity to make new friends and become more involved in SWE outreach and event planning.

Every Fall and Spring, high school students from all over Virginia visit the university to experience what it's like to be an engineering student at UVA. Students interested in an outreach leadership position are expected to have had experience with this event. See all the ways you can get involved below!

Design Committee
As a member of the design committee, you will plan design activities, build design kits, and help run the event.

Group Leaders
As a group leader you are responsible for guiding your highschoolers through the day’s activities, getting them around from place to place, doing icebreakers, and being their go-to for any questions they have. It’s a pretty low-stress position, just involves having a lot of enthusiasm for engineering and UVA!

"Day-Of" Volunteers
As a "Day-Of" volunteer, you can hang around all day or just for a couple hours. Day-of volunteers help with design activities, give directions, deliver food/snacks, and assist with setup/takedown.

Middle School Visitation is designed to give middle school students a comprehensive look at engineering through hands-on demonstrations, a design activity, lab tours, and lunch with current engineering students. Students interested in an outreach leadership position are expected to have had experience with this event. See all the ways you can get involved below.

Design Committee
Join the MSV design committee and help us design a fun and engaging activity for the middle school students to complete! This is an easy way to get involved in SWE and will require minimal time commitment. We will need your help testing the design activity and developing presentations to explain the activities.
