  • 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.
