Recently some Red River High students had the opportunity to visit the campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to attend their annual Engineering and Technology Expo Day. This opportunity was granted to the students thanks to the LA GearUp program.

The expo was an opportunity for those students that are strong in math and science to get an up close look at what UL has to offer in the fields of engineering and technology. The students were able to take a tour of the labs and classrooms as well as seeing first-hand the equipment and research projects that the students of UL work with daily.

The Red River students were able to learn more about what engineers do and what types of careers are available upon graduation. You can find out more about the LA GearUp program at https://mylosfa.la.gov/schools/la-gearup/.
