Engineering Summer Camp & Science and Engineering Sampler

Dr. Kumar and the WiTech Lab have actively engaged with both educators and K–12 students to raise awareness in computer networking. Dr. Kumar is a regular presenter (since 2017) for two long-standing CMU programs: the Engineering Summer Camp and the Science and Engineering Sampler, which bring elementary through high school students to campus for an introduction to engineering research.

Research@CMU — Gelfand Center Seminar Series

Dr. Kumar is a regular speaker for the seminar series “Research@CMU,” where he speaks to middle and high school educators about incorporating computer networking concepts in their classrooms. These seminars expose educators to state-of-the-art advances in wireless networking, including demos and videos they can use directly in class. For more details, please contact the Gelfand Center, which organizes these programs.

ECE SPARK Saturdays

WiTech Lab students are regular volunteers in ECE SPARK Saturdays, a program created by ECE Outreach to introduce high school students to electrical and computer engineering and expose them to engineering as a potential career. Six labs are held each semester on Carnegie Mellon’s campus, including hands-on sessions on building circuits with LEDs and radio fundamentals.
