The 2017 Four Ingenieros Foundation Engineering Competition hostted 80 STEM community college underrepresented students from Santa Barbara City College and Allan Hancock College who learned, built, and programmed a robot that traversed three obstacle courses. The event took place at the SBCC’s Campus Center Cafeteria and consistted of a full day of coding lessons, networking, team collaboration, a keynote speaker, and an award ceremony.
Four Ingenieros Foundation is proud to announce the launch of our book scholarship grant application for the Spring 2016 semester! We invite those students from Santa Barbara City College majoring in STEM to review the scholarship requirements and encourage you to apply. Our book grant scholarship is open to all students with no regards to class standing, GPA requirement and is open to undocumented students as well. A simple application is available on our website under “Book Grant” or follow the link: http://fouringenierosfoundation.org/form/. The application will run from December 28th 2015 until January 31st at 11:59 PM . Don't miss this great opportunity!

We had our Four Ingenieros Scholarship Fundraiser on December 11, 2015 with an amazing turnout and tremendous success. With over 80lbs of pork and several dozen cans of hominy over 150 people came out and ate delicious pozole. We had many close friends, community members, family, and students contribute to our first scholarship fund that will target science, technology, engineering, and mathematics students attending Santa Barbara City College.

Shortly after graduation the Four Ingenieros broke ground and began organizing, envisioning, and planning what would be our next endeavor. A common theme was shared within our conversation and Four Ingenieros Foundation was born. Most of you know us from playing soccer in the central coast to our days at SBCC and SBCC SHPE Ingenium. Now as professionals in our respective fields of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science we strive to make an impact in our communities. We invite you to our first event and help fundraiser for scholarships that will benefit students of SBCC majoring in the STEM fields. All are welcome to join us as we share our stories, our goals and of course enjoy a hot plate of pozole, atole and a Christmas basket raffle.
Four Ingenieros Foundation started with a group of four STEM classmates who took leadership positions in our SHPE Ingenium student chapter at Santa Barbara City College. During our time with SHPE they were able to work well together with similar visions for their SHPE Ingenium chapter. After transferring to a four year university they took those skills attained from attending conferences and workshops onto the next level of their education. Their friendship and collaborative efforts lived on after their time at SBCC and they had different backgrounds and experiences trying to navigate through the educational pipeline. The four ingenieros saw the need for more involvement and the need to expose STEM students at a much earlier time in their educational careers. We feel that being exposed to and participating in different opportunities allows students to gain the skills and confidence to finish a career in STEM. We are very excited to start our professional journey and STEM advocacy through our foundation and we hope to serve as a support group for our future engineers and scientists.
