The event will be free and open to the public.
 

Explore Engineering

What better way to explore engineering than by doing a fun project.  All projects will become part of the Envision Engineering exhibit.  Each project will be put on display at the Museum.  We will let you know when your project will be displayed so you can invite family and friends to come see it.  This is an ongoing project through August 2008.  Projects will be displayed through December 2008.

How can you get involved?
Research an engineer or engineering project.  To showcase your findings:

• write a report
• create a poster
• make a shadow box
• create a display board

These are just some ideas of what you can do.  The creative part is up to you.  Have fun exploring engineers and how they have contributed to our world.  Please contact us when your project is complete.
