Engineering Design Competition: Fall 2026
10:00am - 3:00pm | 6200 University Blvd
The ocean is full of mysteries waiting to be discovered. For thousands of years, humans have engineered vessels to explore our waters, from the earliest boats over 50,000 years ago to today's advanced ships and submarines. In this engineering design competition, you'll dive into the world of marine engineering and create innovative solutions for exploring and navigating the seas.As you design an ocean-going vessel, you'll also discover that great engineering goes beyond performance. Marine engineers must consider how their designs affect the hydrosphere and the ecosystems that depend on it. Can you engineer a vessel that is both innovative and environmentally responsible?All aboard—it's time to set sail!Event Registration Link

Micro to Nano: Investigating the Invisible
10:00am - 3:00pm | 6200 University Blvd
When we hear the word "microscopes," we often think of biology — and you wouldn't be wrong!However, there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to microscopy. At the Micro to Nano event, participants will zoom across disciplines that rely on microscopy, from forensics and materials engineering to quantum physics and biology. Throughout the day, students will explore how scientists and engineers use microscopes to investigate hidden worlds while gaining hands-on experience with these powerful tools, where possible!Through the generous support of the French Embassy in Canada, we will be joined by Dr. Anthony Ayari, who is a senior researcher at the National Centre for Scientific Research in Lyon, France. He studies matter and electrons at the atomic scale and his work bridges quantum physics and electron microscopy, driving collaborations with industry. He earned his PhD in Physics from Université Joseph Fourier and has also conducted pioneering research on ultrathin transistors at the University of Maryland.We are thrilled to have Dr. Anthony mentor at this event along with other mentors in relevant fields.Event Registration Link
