Discover Engineering

What’s it like to be an engineer and solve problems? Find out as we kick off National Engineers’ Week with dozens of real engineers from local firms who are setting up shop in Discovery Center spaces to give kids and adults hands-on experiences.  Set your brain for “try-it-mode,” conquer fun challenges, meet local robotics teams, and more! Included with Discovery Center admission. Sponsored by Nicor Gas, TAC Rockford, the Illinois Society of Professional Engineers, Illinois Space Grant Consortium, ThermoFisher Scientific and the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
