Help kids build a hoop glider and see how far it goes… Watch how high the kids can build a newspaper tower that supports a golf ball… Lend a hand to kids building all kinds of structures with spaghetti and marshmallows – you’ll be surprised at their creativity! 

Saturday February 16^th, the Austin Branch ASCE and the Greater Austin Contractors and Engineers Association (ACEA) will jointly host the 7^th Annual Engineer’s Day at the Austin Children’s Museum!

ASCE is seeking volunteers to commit to a three hour shift between 9:00 AM and 2:30 PM.  We anticipate approximately 350 children will attend throughout the day. Volunteer training will be minimal and take place just before your shift.  Certificates for PDHs will be provided.

We've had over 200 children attend each year over the last six years. The Children's Museum does still charge admission on the day of the event, and we make an effort to obtain sponsorship money to pay for as many admissions as possible, in order to encourage attendance at the event.  We have also been awarded a national ASCE grant this year to help fund the activities, but we still need your support. We are looking for $150 or $250 sponsors to fund supplies for the activities and give-aways for the kids.  In exchange for your sponsorship, your company name will be included on all press kits/media announcements, printed promotional materials handed out to the children and museum guests, and on a display board at the museum on the day of the event.  If you wish, you may also provide small giveaway items with your company name/logo to be placed in the take-home goody bags the kids receive.

If your or your firm is interested in sponsoring the event, or if you have any questions, please email or call a PR Committee Member listed below:
