(AP) — The University of Nebraska-Lincoln wants middle school students to get excited about science, technology, engineering and math.

The school’s engineering school will host three days of a workshop beginning Tuesday that will teach students about certain mechanical, electrical and biological engineering techniques.

Discover Engineering Days will feature UNL engineering students and faculty leading interactive sessions aimed at problem-solving. Several middle schools are expected to participate each day.

Officials say the event will introduce kids to fields that help solve the world’s problems and provide lucrative careers.
