Have you ever wondered who makes sure our buildings, roads, and bridges are safe? An engineer, that’s who! Join Whitaker Center virtually with a LIVE educator to learn all about engineering, work together to design different bridges, and examine their structure and form. A recording of the program will be available after the program if individuals are not able to tune into the live session.
