[NMScience] Zoom Into Engineering student event at NAM

[Jeanette Miller]

Hello,

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
