SAME Omaha Student Mentoring Program Engineering Workshop 2025 with the USACE

02/25/2025

These yearly workshops with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) keep getting better. For the past three years we have partnered with the USACE to provide a workshop for our SAME, Omaha Post Student Mentoring Program. The students are fully engaged during presentations and are very competitive when it comes to the build contest. As always, the presenters were wonderful and we greatly appreciate their time spent with our students.

Learn more about the workshop in this article written by the USACE, Omaha District.

If you would like to know how to get your school involved in our program, please message us or email us at [email protected]. Our SAME program runs from September to the final presentations in April.

SAME SMP Teacher/Mentor Orientation Dinner Tonight! Did you miss the invite?

09/13/2024

Our Engineering Program’s kickoff meeting for teachers and mentors is next week! We currently have 27 teams!

I have 5 spots open for mentors. We lost a school but gained four. I'm still talking with two high schools so I might need more mentors.

If your school does not have a team, let’s get one started there. We still have time.
