ABOUT OUR CONSORTIUMAlumni Stories
"Participating in HIRES really solidified my drive for STEM. While I still pursue my hobbies with sports, music and other things, I decided I really wanted to study engineering. HIRES was a hands on experience in the world of engineers and academics, so it really strengthened my want to be an engineer through working on my own project and seeing the projects of my friends and other professors."

"The Hk Maker Lab program got me really interested in the intersection between entrepreneurship, biotechnology and medicine. That combined really well with my desire to do research and innovate. I was able to leverage all my interests within the Hk Maker Lab to pursue a biomedical engineering project… The program was absolutely incredible. With Hk Maker Lab, I learned about collaboration and the importance of fostering a sense of community. "
