North Carolina EWeek

We are beginning to plan now for February 15-21, 2009 NC-EWeek, formerly called "Engineers Week". Each year our EWeek team features activities during the week of George Washington's birthday. President Washington was one of the most prominent engineers of his day. NC-EWeek includes a variety of programs in which K-12 students, families, and teachers may interact with engineers. Through hands-on demonstrations and resource materials, engineers and other technical professionals bring activities reinforcing the value of Technical Literacy to students and their families inside and outside of the classroom.

The NC EWeek Committee's mission is to create an awareness of the critical importance of technical literacy by school children in the Carolinas. Not only is this invaluable in pursuing careers in the high tech and engineering fields, but are fundamental skills required in most high value career paths. Our volunteers provide role models from the local technical and engineering community for our school aged children.
