Who will be the engineers of our future?
The National Atomic Museum is celebrating Engineering with a day of fun activities for children to help them develop strong science process skills, just like engineers do on a daily basis. “Zoom into Engineering” will be held from 11:00 am to 3:00 p.m. Saturday, February 2, 2008, at the Museum.
Activities for the day will be hands-on, fun, kid-friendly, and designed to spark children’s interest in the scientific field of engineering. Engineers from Sandia National Laboratories and other organizations will lead activities such as making ice cream with liquid nitrogen, building a lighted Space Needle, and mixing potions inspired by Harry Potter.
“Our museum is a den of engineering activity during ‘Zoom Into Engineering’ day,” said Jim Walther, the Museum’s Director. “Kids are genuinely excited with all we help them create.”
Groups from schools, scouts, or the community are encouraged to make reservations so that they can take advantage of a “will call” location the day of the event. Reservations can be made by calling 245-2137, ext. 103. Participation is free with admission, which is $6 for adults and $4 for children ages 6-17.
The National Atomic Museum is located in Old Town Albuquerque at 1905 Mountain Road N.W. The museum is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, 361 days a year. For more information, visit www.atomicmuseum.com
