There will be contests and activities t hat students can participate in and this year we are delighted to announce that IEEE's MOVE vehicle will be on site to show students and the general public how the technologies that IEEE members work on daily are also used to help the American Red Cross respond to disasters. (You can read more a bout MOVE at the end of this announcement.)\n\nThe American Society of Mat erials Engineers is hosting an Egg Drop Contest and the American Society o f Civil Engineers is hosting a Popsicle Stick Bridge Contest. Both contest s are open to middle school and high school students. You can find details about those competitions at rjec.org/cei-day/. The IEEE Richmond Section will have "Squishy Circuits" that young children can build\, "Snap Circuit s" for children who are a bit older\, and simple circuit boards that even older children can build. We will also have drawings to give out copies of the "Ada Twist\, Scientist" and "Rosie Revere\, Engineer" children's STEM books.\n\nYou do not need to register for this event\, but if you would l ike to volunteer to help\, please contact allen.jones@ieee.org.\n\nThe eve nt is free and is open to the general public. Please feel free to pass thi s information along to anyone who you feel might be interested.\n\nCan't m ake it to the Dewey Gottwald Center on this date?\n\nThe MOVE vehicle will also be at Virginia Commonwealth University the morning of Monday\, Febru ary 13th.
