  Engineers at Ground Zero, is a documentary that highlights the little-known role structural engineers played following the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. This film focuses on the structural engineers who ensured the safety of first responders during recovery, helped stabilize structures, and prevented the Hudson River from flooding the NYC Subway system. Join us to hear firsthand accounts and to learn how 9/11 has influenced building design and emergency response to keep the public safe. The program will include a reception with light refreshments. There will be a brief introduction by SEAoNY and NCC ACI committee member Bill Lyons of Euclid Chemical as well as time for Q&A.

  VOLUNTEER!

  The District Architect Center's

  Summer Camp Engineering Day

  
  

  July 15th | 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

  On July 15th, SEA-MW is excited to host "Engineering Day" at a summer camp held at The District Architect Center, designed for kids ages 8-10. The event will run from 10am to 3pm, and we're looking for volunteers to help these young students explore the world of structural engineering. Volunteers are welcome to join for either the morning shift (10am–12pm) or the afternoon shift (1pm–3pm), depending on their availability. Activities may include building spaghetti and marshmallow towers to test on a shake table or using fans to blow over a tower of cups to simulate wind loads.

  Please reach out to Kellie Farster at kfarster@walterpmoore.com to sign up and for additional information.
