Engineering is tons of fun when you get to think it, build it, and see results with the help from the pros at Creative Discovery Museum. Join expert engineers at the Museum on February 13th from 12 to 4 p.m. and experience engineering fun!
Engineers from the Society of Women Engineers and Engineering students from UTC and Chattanooga State will lead guests in hands-on exploration of engineering concepts. The professionals will share their work and expertise in each major engineering field, including mechanical, electrical, civil, and chemical. Whether building a cup tower that reaches the second floor, learning about a chemical reaction or designing a new type of vehicle, guests will have a blast with the limitless possibilities when engineering principles are applied.
Just a few of the activities that will combine fun with basic lessons in science and engineering include:
* Constructing a Cup Tower -- Visitors will attempt to build a tower out of plastic cups as tall as the ceiling in the Museum's two-story Atrium.
* Gum Drop Building –Guests will learn secrets in design that will help them make even the gummiest materials sturdy foundations.
* Hoop Glider -- One drinking straw plus two strips of paper… How far will it fly?
Engineering Fun Day at Creative Discovery Museum is a part of E Week, the Chattanooga Engineers Club's weeklong celebration of the engineering profession. More information about E week can be found at www.chattanooga.engineersweek.com and the National Engineering Week website at www.eweek.org.
Activities are free with admission to the Museum. For more information, visit www.cdmfun.org.
