Volunteers Needed
Engineers Week
Washington DC
Discover Engineering
Family Day
February 16, 2008
AIAA NCS needs your help for Discover Engineering Family Day, Saturday, February 16, 2008, National Building Museum, 4th St., NW, Washington, DC (Judiciary Square Metro Stop). More information can be found at: http://eweekdcfamilyday.org/2008/index_2008info.html
Eight volunteers are needed for various 4 hour shifts between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Training and materials are provided. Expected attendance is about 7000, based upon previous years. The AIAA NCS activity will involve the children in making aerospace-related crafts, and explaining to them the science of flight via a demonstration wind tunnel, and encouraging them to consider careers in aerospace. If you have aircraft, rocket or satellite hardware that you can bring, please let us know!
AIAA NCS also needs aerospace related “give-a-way” items, e.g., foam or paper airplane kits, cool light-up pens or other aerospace-related items suitable for 5-13 year olds. Corporate logos are OK, but they should be age appropriate and complementary to the objectives of the exhibit: to inspire children to consider careers in science or engineering.
