Talk about a way to get your kids interested in science and engineering (or feed their already GeekDad-inspired love of the subjects): the University of Washington’s School of Engineering is holding a major open house event this weekend, with talks and demonstrations on a whole swath of fascinating topics, geared for all different age and interest groups. For example, just in the Aeronautics and Astronautics departments, you’ll be able to see:
- The Helicity Injected Torus Experiment
- Flight Simulator
- Spacecraft Formation Flying
- Coordinated fish robots
- Water Rockets
- Aeronautics and Astronautics Senior Space Design: Lunar South Pole Exploration and Reconnaissance
- Zap Flow Z-Pinch Plasma Experiment
- Ram Accelerator Direct Space Launcher
So if you’re in the greater Seattle area this weekend, it definitely looks to be the place for GeekDads and families to go.
