Earlier this year, Newton Public Schools announced a three-year partnership with Boston University’s School of Engineering to bring BU engineering undergraduates into Newton classrooms as Inspiration Ambassadors, to engage and mentor middle-school and high-school students.  The undergraduates are professionally trained for these roles to guide hands-on design challenges and host interactive presentations.  The College of Engineering will also work with Newton’s teachers in workshops and professional development opportunities.  The BU Technology Inspiration Scholars Program has worked with over 2,200 students in twelve states.
