NBM - Family Engineering Day



Every February, the National Building Museum and the National Engineers Week Foundation stage the Engineering Family Day to demonstrate how professional engineers turn an idea into reality.

This year they had a turn out of nearly 9,000, thanks to no snow but dreary Saturday weather.

There were opportunities to explore aerodynamics, build a suspension bridge, construct a structure to help protect from a tsunami, build a trebuchet, study popcorn science and make slime to learn the properties of a semi-solid. There was also lots of Lego.
