The Engineering Navigator is a prototype AI-powered platform that connects students, families, and educators to engineering opportunities across the U.S. To show the power of this tool, we're focusing on North Carolina, where we're mapping local events and programs to show what's possible when communities are connected.

Pine Barrens of NC: Understanding our Biodiversity
In this seminar, we look at the staggering biodiversity of the pine forest floor, which can host up to 40 different plant species in a single square meter. We will discover a world where carnivorous Venus Flytraps and Pitcher Plants hunt insects beneath the towering pines, and where rare orchids bloom in the wake of fire. You will learn how this specific ecosystem supports specialists found nowhere else on Earth, from the Red-cockaded Woodpecker to the Gopher Frog, and why the restoration of the Longleaf Pine is the key to preserving the incredible "hidden" world that lives in its shadow. Audience Target: All Ages, Parental supervision required for children under 10. No refunds for participant cancellations, reschedules, or missed attendance.
