Discover Engineering Family Day
Become an engineer for a day!

Saturday, February 27, 2016

Engineers design the bridges you drive across, improve the food you eat, perfect the fabrics you wear, and even build computers like the one you’re looking at right now. Discover how professional engineers turn ideas into reality and do some engineering and problem solving of your own. Celebrate Engineers Week, February 21 – 27, by participating in this free, hands-on, and fun-filled family day with over 20 activities designed for kids.

Discover Engineering Family Day is a FREE, drop-in program. $5 donation suggested. Recommended ages 6 to 12.
