TeachEngineering

In 1️⃣ week, changemakers from across NCWIT's ecosystem will convene at the University of Colorado Boulder for the 2026 !

This will focus our relationship to technology, and how we can shape our technical future before we are shaped by it: ncwit.org/summit/2026-summit

We all play a role in the future — both within computing education and within the broader workforce — join us! 🙂

The Mars Sample Return mission is incredibly complex and involves multiple spacecraft, robotic systems, and international teams working together 🪐 In this design engineering challenge, students work as part of an engineering team to help complete a simulated MSR mission.

Like real engineers at NASA, each group designs and codes a microdevice to accomplish one essential task, then the class collaborates to integrate all components into one fully functioning mission!

At the 2026 , we will host two mini plenary sessions that will leave you with practical strategies to:

🧠 Deepen learning and explore new ideas

💡 Collaborate in difficult moments

🤝🏾 Build mutual understanding

🌟 Turn today’s turbulent climate into traction for sustained cultural change
