Just a few things that engineers do with their knowledge are:

Engineers started their academic and professional careers with dreams. In fact, many of them dreamed of being engineers when they were kids, just like you! When they grew up, Engineers made those dreams a reality. Once those dreams become a reality, Engineers can design things that make the world a better place! You can be that engineer, too!

Bonus Activity:

One of the scary things about earthquakes is that sometimes they can cause buildings to fall down. That can cause people to get hurt or worse. Engineers see this problem and they solve it. They design buildings that can stay standing after an earthquake to protect the people inside. How would you design a safer building to protect people from earthquakes?

Get the help of an adult in your life and put your engineering skills to the test! Design a building that can withstand earthquakes using Jell-O.

What youll need:

Once your Jell-O is ready:
