Today in Science
National Engineers Week
The 62nd anniversary of National Engineers Week is February 17–23. This event is designed to raise awareness of all the ways engineering contributes to our daily lives and foster interest in future generations of engineers. “Celebrate Awesome” is the 2013 theme, and it invites participants to celebrate engineers and all the interesting things they do.
Encourage your class to get involved with this collection of related resources from Science NetLinks. Students can construct model boats, learn about the technology of spacecrafts, find out how engineering helps contribute to waste disposal, play a game to help power a city, and watch a video about the biomechanics of skateboarding.
