Kids Day Event Held During National Engineers Week
On February 20, 2012, the ASCE Met Section celebrated National Engineers Week at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing, Queens by hosting interactive activities for kids to learn about engineering. Hundreds of children and their parents came to the museum that day and made an effort to stop at the various hands-on activities, which were set up on the lower level of the museum's Central Pavilion.

Met Section members, members of the local student chapters volunteered their time assisting the children with the activities and to answer questions regarding Civil Engineering. The day's program also included videos about Civil Engineering.

The Met Section would like to thank the following sponsors of the event: Environmental Planning and Management Inc., Gianfia Corporation, HNTB Corporation, HAKS, Mueser Rutledge, M & J Engineering.
