March is designated as National Engineering Month (NEM), and is celebrated by teaching Canadians about engineering. NEM events teach the creativity and diversity of the engineering profession by reaching out to young Canadians through different events that take place across the country. Engineering is relevant to everyone in one way or another, and NEM hopes to spark interest to allow the profession to grow.
The University of Waterloo hosts multiple events that aim to engage students and help them figure out which area they enjoy best in engineering. The Rube Goldberg Machine and CANstruction took place this past weekend and were a great success. Thank you so much to the CANstruction director, and Rube Goldberg Directors who have put their time and efforts towards making these events happen.
There are a few more NEM events happening later in March. Join the Grand River Chapter PEO at THEMUSEUM on March 23, for a K’Nex bridge building event. If you’re interested please contact terrygomez@rogers.com. Also on the 23 is the Girl Guide Badge Day: come out and help girl guides earn their engineering badge!
If you noticed campus got busy earlier this week, it’s because of the March Break Open House! High school students came for one last look at our engineering programs before making the big decision! Thank you to everybody who took time off to promote Waterloo engineering and organize the day.
But what else is there to do in this city?? Well I’m glad you asked! The City of Waterloo has something for your inner athlete, environmentalist, and artist! For those who are interested in art, the Ballet Jorgen Canada will be performing Swan Lake on March 16 in Kitchener.
Do you want to make Waterloo a greener city? Attend the ClimateActionWR Community Forum Series and give input on a plan to lower greenhouse gas emissions over the next 10 years. The Series will being held March 19, 21, 25 in three separate locations in the Waterloo Region.
Whoever thought golf was for summer weather, think again! The Mid-Winter Indoor Golf Classic is running from March 21 to March 23. All proceeds from this event will go towards the Brain Injury Association of Waterloo-Wellington.
Enjoy the rest of NEM!
