  Volunteering at the National Building Museum

  

  The Community Outreach Committee invites you to share structural engineering principles with children in our community at the National Building Museum. They are looking for 5 volunteers for each event. You are welcome to bring your own kids, as long as they can help too!

  Register here for the following events:

  STEAM Saturday on January 10th from 1 pm – 3 pm

  This free program would be in connection with the WAVE installation and include the spaghetti/marshmallow activity as well as an activity on long-form roofs and bridges.

  Craft Workshop on January 24th from 10 am – 2 pm

  During this free drop-in program, kids will build their own geodesic domes out of straws from provided kits. Any help would be appreciated! If you love putting together Ikea furniture, then this event is for you.

  STEAM Saturday on February 14th from 1 pm – 3 pm

  This free program would focus on engineering buildings that can resist “disasters”, such as activities focused on wind and earthquakes.

  Rebuilding Together 2026

  
  

  Join us Saturday, April 25th!

  Rebuilding Together is a nationwide home repair and rehabilitation initiative dedicated to keeping low-income homeowners living in safety, warmth, and independence through volunteer services. On the last Saturday in April, teams from all over the country will spend the day making repairs and improvements to their assigned project homes.
  
  SEA-MW has partnered with local chapters in Maryland, Virginia, and DC since 2011, and many of our volunteers join us year after year! The SEA-MW team has consistently been at least 20 to 30 people on rebuilding day, in addition to 10 job captains who prepare and organize projects. In the past, SEA-MW has completed concrete repairs, plumbing repairs, bathroom repairs, replacing doors and windows, exterior and interior painting, landscaping, flooring repairs, fence construction, screened-in porch repairs, etc. Rebuilding Together knows our team can get a lot of great projects done in challenging environments—they are so excited each year to see what we do for our homeowners! Learn more.
  
  No experience necessary—just a willingness to make an impact on someone's life.  

  We will send information on the specific projects and requested tools closer to the date. Rebuilding Together will provide construction materials. If you have questions or you are interested in being a task leader, please contact Ting Wang (twang@wje.com), Camille Stefani (cstefani@wje.com), and  Rob Cole (rcole@wje.com).
