2012 Engineer’s Day at the Children’s Museum
E-Week is on the way and so is the annual Engineer’s Day at the Austin Children’s Museum organized by the Austin Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Help kids build a hoop glider and see how far it goes…watch how high they can build a newspaper tower that supports a golf ball…lend a hand to help them build all kinds of structures with spaghetti and marshmallows – you’ll be surprised at their creativity!
On Saturday, February 18th, the Austin Branch of ASCE and the Greater Austin Contractors and Engineers Association (ACEA) will host the 11th Annual Engineer’s Day at the Austin Children’s Museum!
The Austin Branch of ASCE is seeking volunteers to commit to one of two shifts. Pass the word to anyone else who may be interested! Volunteers can choose a morning shift from 9:00 to noon, or an afternoon shift from 11:30 to 2:30. We anticipate up to 300 children will attend throughout the day. Training will be minimal and take place just before your shift. Volunteers will receive a certificate for PDH credit.
We’ve had over 200 children attend each day over the last eight years! The Austin Children’s Museum charges admission on the day of the event, and we make an effort to obtain sponsorship money to pay for as many admissions as possible in order to encourage attendance at the event. ACEA and the Austin Branch of ASCE help fund the admissions, however we are also looking for general event sponsors at the $150 or $250 level, and activity table sponsors at the $500 level to fund supplies for the activities and give-aways for the kids. In exchange for your sponsorship, your company name will be included on all press kits/media announcements, printed promotional materials handed out to the children and museum guests, and on a display board at the museum on the day of the event. Table sponsors will also have their company name on a sign at an activity table. If you wish, you may also provide small give-away items with your company name/logo to be placed in the take-home goody bags the kids receive.
If interested in sponsoring and/or volunteering for this great event, please contact Brandon Hammann at brandonh@mwmdesigngroup.com.
