UVa Engineering Open House on March 19


I have a soft spot for engineers, so the Engineering Open House is a fun event for me to write about.  The Engineering Open House is open to the public and there are demonstrations and activities for all ages, from elementary school children to high school students.

If you've been meaning to come check out the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Saturday, March 19th is a great day to visit.  You can register ahead of time on the Open House website, but you are also welcome to drop in.

By the way, this isn't an admission event.  I just think it's a fun activity and thought I'd tell you about it.  Hope to see you there!
