Named a Program of Excellence by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, the ITL Program provides summer engineering workshops and classes to extend hands-on learning to K-12 teachers and students, as part of its integrated K-16 engineering program. See its extensive K-12 curricula at TeachEngineering.org. " …one of the finer teaching environments on the planet. " — Hewlett-Packard Engineering Educator Newsletter, Fall '97 " Scientists investigate what is; they discover new knowledge by peering into the unknown… Engineers create what has not been; they make things that have never existed before… " The ITL Program won the 2005-06 Diversity Service Recognition Award from the CU-Boulder Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Minority Affairs. ITL was selected for its commitment to creating a more diverse student population at CU-Boulder and for enriching the exposure of K-12 students to engineering, reaching out in particular to students of color, young women, and first-generation college-bound students.
