Met Section Holds Kids Day Event During National Engineers Week

On February 15, 2010 (President's Day), the ASCE Met Section celebrated National Engineers Week at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing, Queens. Each of the interactive activities was set up in the upper rotunda of main entrance of the museum. As in past years, hundreds of visitors came to the Hall of Science that day and a large majority of children and their parents made an effort to stop at each of the hands-on activities.

Met Section members as well as ASCE student members from local colleges and universities volunteered their time assisting the children with the activities and answered questions regarding engineering and the type of work that engineers do. The day's program also included several videos about civil engineering. The Met Section would like to thank the following sponsors of the event: Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers, Environmental Planning and Management, Michael Baker Engineering, HDR Engineering, HNTB Corporation, Parsons Brinckerhoff, and Thornton Tomasetti.
