Did you know that on February 21 & 22 the Innovation and Engineering Weekend will be taking place at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum  of Science?  Yes! enjoy two days of clean tech, green solutions, and lots of hands-on activities themed towards building the city of the future. There are so many activities for kids to explore! I took my 5 and 3 year old girls last year and they had a blast! I can only imagine what they will do this year!

During the 2015 Innovation & Engineering Weekend, children will be able to help artists and designers build furniture out of recycled materials and participate in other Maker’s activities. Explore the world of tomorrow with new research on immersive 3D environments. See the future of fashion with a special fashion show in the Planetarium, which includes wearable technologies and recycled materials. Meet engineers from around the community and compete in building challenges. Program their own robot, learn about urban gardening and hydroponics, plant their own seedling to take home to your community, participate in tech workshops, explore transportation options of the future from better bicycles (and bike paths) to electric cars, and much more.

Weekend event partners include Best Buy; Critical Craft Forum; DesignLab Miami; Earth Friendly Products; EcoTech Visions; Everglades Foundation; FIU School of Architecture; FIU’s Society of Women Engineers; Gehl Studio; Health in the Hood; FIA Formula E Championship Miami ePrix; Miami Industrial Arts; REM Learning Center; Dr. Robert B.
