What's Expo?

Every February since 1998, the Society of Women Engineers Wichita Section and the WSU College of Engineering have put on an Engineering Expo to show kids grades K-8 how cool engineering can be!

Expo features fun hands-on activities at various booths. You can stop in any time and try something, and go to whatever booths you're interested in. It runs for several hours but you can drop in any time.

There is no registration or cost involved. Expo is free for kids and parents!

Parents should stay with children throughout the activities.

Many booths have items that kids make and bring home with them.

Expo is a celebration of Engineers Week! Learn more about Engineers Week and engineering at eweek.org.
