EUP Regional Science and Engineering Fair - We had an outstanding event at LSSU on December 2nd! Our 139 students and their 89 projects were awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who collaborated to make Science and Engineering Fair a success! You can read more about the event HERE.
EUP Sophomore Health Careers Day - Thank you to MyMichigan Sault for hosting 264 EUP students on for Health Career Day on December 16! Students learned about many aspects of careers in healthcare including radiology, IT, pharmacy, psychiatry, long-term care, food and nutrition, surgery, lab science, rehab, revenue cycle, physical therapy, and social work.
Pi Day at LSSU - Pi Day at LSSU has been set for March 15, 2023! Why don't we do this on the 14th? This is because schools have school events on the actual Pi Day so we do our regional event on a different day. Pi Day is open to middle school and high school teams. See more about how to participate in our regional event HERE.
EUP Trig Star - The Trig-Star competition is a national trigonometry competition open to high school students throughout the country. Trig-Star is designed to show students real world applications of trigonometry in the land surveying and engineering professions. The students are given four questions, and the student that has the most correct answers in the least amount of time is declared the EUP regional winner. Teachers and students from all EUP districts are invited to attend this year's event on April 27, 2023. See the Trig Star flyer and registration HERE.
