Have fun and help kids learn: volunteer at an Engineering Week workshop

Engineering Week is fast approaching! Among the highlights of Ontario's Engineering Week, February 28 to March 7, 2004, are drop-in K'NEX construction workshops at science centres or children's museums in Kitchener, London, Ottawa, Sudbury and Toronto. Junior innovators six to 12 years of age will have fun and learn about engineering by creating incredible structures using this popular colour-coded building toy.

This is your invitation to join in the fun and play with construction toys, too! If you are a P.Eng., EIT or engineering student who resides in one of the five workshop cities and would like to help out with the K'NEX workshops, please register today at the "Volunteer Opportunities" section of the Engineering Week Ontario website.
