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.

Brown Brain Fair
Come discover the human brain! Ever wonder how we learn and remember? How do optical illusions work? Come hold a real preserved brain or look at neurons through a microscope. Check out "brains in a dish" or try your hand at an EEG recording. Experience virtual reality or make original digital art using your own brain waves! Younger kids can enjoy crafts, games, tasty treats, and face painting. At the Brown Brain Fair you'll find more than 20 labs, organizations, and institutes who will give you a glimpse of their research using games and fun demonstrations. Each year, the fair has been attended by over 600 people. It won "Event of the Year" from the Brown Student Activities Office and was covered by several media outlets, including the Providence Journal and the Brown Daily Herald. This year, the Brown Brain Fair will be at Hazeltine Commons on March 16th, from 10AM to 2PM.

Wildlife Wonders: Appalachian Zoology
Aspiring biologists and naturalists will explore the animal life of the southern Appalachians through discussions, workshops, hands-on lab experiments, and field trips. Identify local species by searching for salamanders in a private reserve, snorkeling in clear mountain streams, and studying specimens under microscopes. A special evening field trip will offer the opportunity to observe the rare synchronous and blue-ghost fireflies at a private reserve. Learn to use zoological tools such as aquatic and insect nets, binoculars, and dissecting and compound microscopes. Field trips will focus on observing and identifying vertebrate wildlife across Western North Carolina's diverse habitats.

Tech Camp at UNH Manchester - TechVenturers Zoom Lens (Week 1)
Microscopes enable us to visualize the hidden world around us. Imagine being able to turn your own cell phone into a handheld microscope! Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was a microscopist who was the first to observe bacteria and protozoa. In this project you will explore Leeuwenhoek microscopes and make a prototype of your own with custom-made lenses that attach to your phone. This will involve 3D modeling and 3D printing your designs to turn your phone into a high-magnification custom microscope! For students entering grades 5-12 who are students in the Manchester, NH school district.
