EPICS High: STEM's impact on community service

EPICS (Engineering Projects In Community Service) is a nation-wide program that encourages students to be active in their community and use engineering ideas to solve local problems. In 2006, the EPICS program was expanded and is no longer exclusive to colleges and universities. The extension of the program is called EPICS High, a similar program aimed specifically at high school students. Many exciting and interesting projects have resulted from this program, throughout the world. In addition, the integration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields with community service promotes its potential to a younger audience. EPICS High has proven to be an invaluable organization worldwide due to the advantages and opportunities it offers.
