Outreach

Mission Statement

The objective of the Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) Outreach program is to expose students to the engineering field of research and work and inspire students to pursue higher education in STEM. We bring hands-on engineering projects to underserved K-12 schools and host UCSD campus and lab tours, create an interesting and engaging environment, and host fun events that students will remember.
