Calling all Innovators and Engineers! |
Are you STEAMed? You definitely will be when you go hands-on, minds-on at the Kaleideum Engineering Festival! Put a calendar alert on your phone and be ready to spend the day innovating, building, exploring, and learning about the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math in our daily lives and future.
The Engineering Festival will occur on Saturday, February 26, from 10 am-2 pm at Kaleideum North (400 W Hanes Mill Road). It will cap off a week-long celebration of engineering during National Engineers Week (February 20-26).
Families can participate in hands-on engineering activities such as a corrugated paper building challenge; explore robotics and drone demonstrations; take part in a STEAM storytime and craft; and meet local engineers to learn more about careers in engineering. In addition, visitors will be able to visit the Acton Academy Children’s Business Fair at the museum from 10 am to Noon. The Children’s Business Fair is a showcase for young entrepreneurs ages 6 to 14. Children develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and then open for customers during the one-day marketplace.
Multiple sponsors contributed to the Engineering Festival and Prism, Kaleideum’s engineering and innovation initiative, including the L. David Mounts Foundation, Collins Aerospace, WestRock, Cook Medical, Siemens, the Corning Foundation, Leap into Science Engineered by The Franklin Institute, Truist, and the HDR Foundation.
