A fun, engaging and interactive program that introduces kids to the fascinating world of civil engineering through experimenting with various building materials and the effect of forces and loads on buildings they design themselves. Kids are exposed to various types of bridges and why they are essential. Kids design and build their own bridges, considering forces, loads, durability, and budget.

Project Lead the way: Women constitute 48% of the US workforce but hold only 24% of the STEM jobs. Today's girls are tomorrow's engineers, as they naturally possess the creativity and analytical and communication skills to become one!

Buiding a homemade camera, it may seem difficult, but it is easier than it seems, because for only two dollars and in 5 minutes, everyone can build their own cardboard camera.

The visible absorption and photoluminescence of CdSe nanoparticles depend on the size of the particle. A sudden injection of room temperature selenium solution into hot cadmium solution produces quickly-growing seed crystals. Samples are withdrawn from the hot solution and quenched at room temperature to produce a series of increasing particle sizes and observable change in color.

The homemade elctroscope consist of a vertcal copper metal rod, which has a kind of sphere on the top and at the opposite end two sheetd or flakes of aluminum foil. When an electrified object is brought closer to the sphere, the rod is electrified and the electrically charged aluminum lamellae repel, separating.

3D printer is a machine capable of “impressions” of 3D designs, creating pieces from a design made by computer models.

The most beautiful actress of '40 should be remembered not  only for her 6 husbands, but also to be the inventor of principles used in nowadays wireless links.
