Engineer's Day at Imagine Nation

Join GE and Imagine Nation – A Museum Early Learning Center on Tuesday, February 16 for National Engineers Day. At 10am GE and Imagine Nation will unveil the GE Makers Lab – a makerspace dedicated to nurturing young children’s interest in invention, innovation and manufacturing. Plainville, CT-based GE engineers collaborated with the Imagine Nation team to conceptualize and design the GE Makers Lab. Early learners will not only learn about the technology changing the way today’s makers and engineers invent and create, but will be able to make their own prototypes using the tools equipped in the lab. Some of the new technologies to be included are 3D printers and laser cutters. Engineers day will be held from 10am-4pm where more than 20 local GE engineers will lead a variety of hands-on activities that introduce kids to the fun and challenge of engineering, such as making batteries out of lemons, constructing parachutes and testing them in a wind tunnel and designing egg drop structures.
