Volunteers will each present on 1-2 disciplines of civil engineering during a 10-minute powerpoint and then encourage and talk to students while they build lego structures in groups. Lastly, we will test each lego structure on a "shake table" made of two boards with bouncy balls in between, held together with rubber bands. 1-2 additional volunteers are needed (there will be 3-4 total). Volunteers can be engineering students and/or working professionals. Dress is business casual. Park on the street in front of the school and check in at the office.
