About
MISSION
Pioneers in Engineering (PiE) promotes STEM education through a mentorship-based process. We strongly believe that no student should be denied a quality STEM education experience.
Helpful college mentors
PiE runs a decal which trains a group of dedicated mentors consisting of current and past Berkeley students who are ready and willing to help the students
Low cost for schools
Because PiE creates everything in the competition and has a group of wonderful sponsors, we can keep costs low which lowers the barrier to entry for Bay Area schools
Dedicated club members
A group of talented students who make everything happen from the game design to the software to the the logistical planning and community outreach
