What is MESA?• MESA’s mission is “To prepare underrepresented
students for higher education and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.”
• “Underrepresented students” refers to groups of people that make up a very small population of people in the STEM fields.
• Those groups include African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander and Women.
• However students of all ethnicities are welcome.

MESA Day• Our MESA classes and after school programs design and build
projects for the purpose of competing at our annual MESA Day.
• Every year we have around 400 students come to Pacific Lutheran University to compete in various engineering challenges.
• Projects like making a prosthetic arm, a wind turbine, a popsicle stick bridge, a balsa wood glider, and others.
• The winners of the Prosthetic Arm get to move on to the State MESA Day to compete for scholarships and the opportunity to go to the National MESA Day.
