Sarasota K-12 Gator Outreach

Sarasota K-12 Gator Outreach

UF Innovation Station Sarasota County ( (UFIS-SC), along with generous support from the Charles and Margery Barancik Foundation, is committed to growing the pipeline of students attending engineering schools by supporting the efforts of the districts and the K-12 teachers. We are working to engage students and expose them to opportunities in engineering through in-class demonstrations, participation in local STEM events, teacher training workshops, field trips to UF, and the Gator Den at SCF-Venice.
