GatorTRAx

The Engineering GatorTRAX Math Excellence Initiative provides students in grades K-12 with opportunities to learn mathematics with hands-on activities for free. Students interested in math and careers in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, especially those students who are underrepresented in engineering fields such as African-Americans, Hispanics and females, are encouraged to participate.

On March 17, 2012 and September 29, 2012, the WTS student chapter partnered with Tau Beta Pi to host LEGO® Car Building Workshops in Weil Hall at the UF campus. Children built LEGO® cars and learned how design affects speed. Tiffany Buster, an engineering student and vice president of the WTS UF Student Chapter (pictured to the right), spoke to participating children about transportation concepts during the GatorTRAX event. Pictured in the image above to the left, Danielle Soriano, also a civil engineering student and the president of the WTS UF student chapter, encourages children to think about urban planning concepts
