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.

Survival Craft: Building an Outdoor Shelter
A hands-on seminar that teaches you the vital skills needed to protect yourself from the elements when modern gear isn't an option. This course moves beyond 'camping' to focus on the physics of heat retention and the engineering of emergency structures. You will learn to think like a survivalist, evaluating your environment for the 'Rule of Threes' and identifying natural resources to build a life-saving microclimate. From the iconic debris hut to advanced tarp configurations, we will cover the construction of shelters that block wind, shed water, and trap body heat. Whether you are a hiker, a back-country enthusiast, or someone who wants to be prepared for the unexpected, this seminar will give you the confidence to build a 'home' wherever you stand. Participants will be taken to our wooded trails, where they will be shown how to forage for the right shelter materials. Target audience: Adults and teens ages 10+. Ideal for anyone interested in survival craft.
