Friday, January 20th, 6-9pm, Fernbank Science Center Science Night: We will need 4-6 engineers to help with approximately 60 students. We will have the engineers make individual presentations on their disciplines (3-10mins, 6-5mins, or as-needed). Then, the students will break into three classes where the engineers will help with activities. The classes will rotate and will include toothpick bridge template making with hot-glue, and other science/engineering activities. Volunteers will need to arrive by 5:30 for orientation.
