The Engineering Expressions Program, sponsored by
the ASCE Buffalo Section, will be presented to the 5th and 6th grade
students at Buffalo City Honors School on Wednesday, December 2,
2009, from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Approximately 185 students will be
introduced to engineering through four "hands on" workshops
presented by about 25 volunteers. The workshops include Displays &
Demonstrations, Engineering Drawings, Materials where students make
concrete, and Structures where students build simple bridges and
test their strength. Engineering expressions is in its 20th year and
it has been presented to about 8,000 children.
We have always had a good experience working with the students at
Buffalo City Honors School. The children are always attentive,
interested, and they ask good questions. While the permanent school
location is under renovation, the school is temporarily located on
West Delevan between Chapin and Elmwood Streets, Buffalo, NY. If you
would like to volunteer for the program, please call Irv Reinig,
Chairperson, at (716) 681-2587 or email him at
reinigtnt@verizon.net. No previous experience with the program is
necessary.
