Did you know that February 19 – 25 is National Engineers Week (E-Week)? Founded in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers, E-Week is an official partnership of over 70 engineering, education, and cultural societies, and more than 50 corporations and governmental agencies. Below, we’ve compiled some of our favorite E-Week activities to stimulate young minds.

This year’s theme is “Engineers Dream Big.” Because every project starts with a dream, we encourage you to join our celebration by introducing a child to engineering through fun, hands-on E-Week activities. Whether building a spinning top, making your own glue, or designing a highway interchange—there’s something for all ages! So get dreaming and share a photo or video of your project with us by tagging @gaiconsultants on social media.

Here are some of our favorite E-Week activities to try out with the future engineer in your life:

Programs planned in association with E-Week include screenings of “Dream Big: Engineering Our World” (various dates), Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day (2.23.17), Global Day of the Engineer (4.5.17), and more. To learn more about E-Week and how to get involved, visit the program’s official website.
