Outreach Event at the Lincoln Children's Museum
Sunday, April 2, 2017, the Nebraska Section hosted an outreach event at the Lincoln Children's Museum.  In just two hours (2pm-4pm), roughly 75 kids and their parents visited our activity area to make gumdrop domes, paper towers, and build with Keva Planks.  NEASCE distributed drawstring backpacks with handouts on Civil Engineering, stickers, building blocks (Duplos or Legos), and more.  Thanks to Bill Arneson, Shannon DeVivo, Greg Seib, and Mike Sklenar for volunteering the day of the event - and to those who helped stuff the backpacks ahead of time.
